'''Celtuce''' (''Lactuca sativa'' var. ''asparagina'', ''augustana'', or ''angustata''), also called '''stem lettuce''', '''celery lettuce''', '''asparagus lettuce''', or '''Chinese lettuce''', is a cultivar of [[lettuce]] grown primarily for its thick [[plant stem|stem]], used as a [[vegetable]]. It is especially popular in China, where it is the most common form of lettuce, and is called '''''wosun''''' ({{zh-cp|c=[[wiktionary:莴|莴]][[wiktionary:笋|笋]]|p=wōsŭn}}) or '''''woju''''' ({{zh-cp|c=[[wiktionary:莴|莴]][[wiktionary:苣|苣]]|p=wōjù}}) (although the latter name may also be used to mean lettuce in general).<br />
<br />
The stem is usually harvested at a length of around 15-20 [[centimetre|cm]] and a diameter of around 3-4 cm. It is crisp, moist, and mildly flavored, and typically prepared by slicing and then [[stir frying]] with more strongly flavored ingredients.<br />
