Spicy pickled mustard greens are a must for many Chinese and Taiwanese dishes. Give this a chance if you’re a pickle hater: it’s a unique form of fermentation — not true pickling — and the greens are essentially pressed down and slowly sinks while it ferments versus soaked in a liquid.
For 6-8 servings:
- 8 oz. piece pickled mustard greens (suan cai)
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bird’s eye chili pepper, sliced
- 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
Soak pickled mustard in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain water and squeeze excess water with a clean kitchen towel. Chop pickled greens.
In a sauté pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced chili pepper. Sauté until fragrant. Add pickled greens and granulated sugar. Sauté for 1 minute.
Serve with rice and other side dishes – it’s especially delicious on top of Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup.
Store excess greens in a clean, glass jar for up to 14 days.
Chicago guys are always like did you really just put ketchup on that hot dog instead of minced garlic, sesame seeds, relish, Polish sausage bits, coleslaw, frosting, pasta sauce, potato wedges, a quarter cup of chocolate chips, grilled sport peppers, celery salt, almond extract, mayo, lettuce, cheese, EXTRA ONION, a shot of malort, whole tomato, mustard, pickle spears, and a little hat from Portillo’s?

I’ll be honest this second shot’s got me real fucked
