 Chinese mustard can be replaced with other vegetables like pumpkin. yam, long beans or Chinese cabbage.The ingredients used are the same just change the vegetable of your choice.  If you are using pumpkin cut it into cubes,  long beans cut into 1cm pieces, and it it is cabbage shredded. A combination of long bean and Chinese cabbage is nice If cooking cabbage in rice reduce the water or else it will turn out soggy.
