They're great both cooked and raw. For salads, I snip them with scissors into sections of an inch or two, stems, leaves, flowers and all. They are also great lightly sauteed with garlic and a dash of soy sauce or white shoyu. Because the stems can get chewy when cooked, chop them into smaller sections first.
If they have a sturdy stems then take the leaves off, chop and stir fry the stems and add the leaves just for a few min at the end. Great to add a splash of soy sauce and toasted sesame oil and garlic
