MUSTARD GREEN CHINESE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large pot with boiling water, add several drops of cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blanch washed mustard greens around tough part for 10 seconds and leaves for 2 ~3 seconds.
• Transfer out and soaked the blended mustard green in cold water for around 10 minutes. Move out and drain.
• Heat up cooking oil in wok, add garlic and chopped chili pepper, and stir the blended mustard green quickly with salt. Mix well.
• Transfer out and serving with steamed rice or other staple food your like.

Steps:

• Separate the mustard green or cut into large chunks and rinse in running water. Discard any dirt leaves.
• Lay the washed mustard greens in a clean gridiron or anything similar to dry the water. Turn over several times and make sure that there is no water on the surface. I would suggest air-drying for around 12 hours until the leaves begins to wither.
• Prepare the glass gar: wash the gar with boiling water and then set aside to drain.
• Transfer the withered mustard green in a large bowl. Rub the leaves with salt until they are totally withered and begin to loose water. Transfer the mustard green leaves in the glass jar.
• Place 1 teaspoon of Sichuan peppercorn seeds and remaining salt in the jar. Pour water to soak all the leaves. Use a weigh to make sure the mustard greens are soaked in water.
• Cover the jar completely, move to shade place and wait for 7 to 15 days until the water becomes bright yellowish green (the time is based on room temperature, the warmer, the shorter).
• Taste it to see whether it is ready. The well- picked mustard green should be salty and slightly sour.
