• Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet (cast iron is good). Meanwhile, place the flour in a large bowl, season with salt if desired and quickly toss the kohlrabi sticks in the flour so that they are lightly coated.
• When the oil is rippling, carefully add the kohlrabi to the pan in batches so that the pan isn't crowded. Cook on one side until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, using tongs, turn the pieces over to brown on the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. The procedure should take only about 5 minutes if there is enough oil in the pan. Drain on paper towels, then sprinkle right away with the seasoning of your choice. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine kohlrabi, salt, and sugar in a pot. Set aside until kohlrabi releases liquid, about 5 minutes.
• Cover pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Shake pot from time to time, so nothing sticks to the bottom. Cook for about 4 minutes. Stir in cream and simmer another 30 seconds without allowing cream to boil.

Steps:

• Place the kohlrabi and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until kohlrabi can be pierced with a fork, but remains firm, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water. Place kohlrabi in a bowl, and cover.
• Place the butter into the same saucepan, and melt over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and golden brown. Gradually whisk the milk and reserved cooking water from the kohlrabi into the flour mixture, stirring until thick and smooth. Stir in the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, white pepper, and parsley until well blended. Continue whisking until sauce thickens, then cook 10 minutes more. Stir in the kohlrabi, tossing to coat evenly with sauce.

Steps:

• Bring cream to a boil in a medium pot. Add kohlrabi and reduce heat. Cover and simmer until kohlrabi is soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove kohlrabi from sauce and place in a bowl; keep warm. Increase heat and cook sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir in parsley. Add kohlrabi, mix to coat with sauce, and serve.

Steps:

• Peel the kohlrabi, slice into quarter-inch-thick slices, then cut the slices into matchsticks a quarter-inch broad. Set aside.
• Make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small, heavy saucepan, stir in the flour and cook over very low heat, stirring often, for 15 minutes.
• Add the milk in a thin stream, beating with a wire whisk. Raise the heat to low-medium, stir in the half-and-half and cook the sauce, stirring almost constantly, until it smoothly coats a spoon, about 10 minutes. Keep warm over very low heat, stirring from time to time.
• Put the kohlrabi in a basket steamer over boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender. It should be firm to the bite but not Chinese-crisp.
• When the kohlrabi is almost done, beat the egg yolk in a heatproof bowl, beat in a bit of the warm sauce and then add the yolk mixture to the saucepan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is very thick and hot, but do not let it boil.
• Season the sauce with salt to taste and just enough nutmeg to give a toasty flavor without being too assertive. Remove the basket from the steamer and toss the contents gently until the surfaces are completely dry, then combine the kohlrabi with the sauce and serve at once.
