It's one thing to can plain vegetables that look lovely and something
else to can vegetables that you would want to enjoy in a stir-fried
dish. There is also the added possibility that some (most?)
commercially-processed products contain additives for crisping that are
not readily available to the home preserver.

Chun King is a brand of canned Chinese food manufactured (still? I
don't know if Jeno still owns it) by an Italian guy named Jeno Paulucci.
