Stir-fried Chinese Mustard Greens, 芥菜

Mustard greens are one of my absolute favorite vegetables. In this recipe, we just do a simple stir fry with ginger and salt, yielding a surprisingly tasty dish. It’s hard to explain, but the vegetable packs an interesting punch.

Ingredients 

  • Chinese mustard greens (芥菜)

  • mini dried shrimp

  • ginger

  • cooking oil

  • salt

Steps

Wash the vegetables, dry thoroughly

Chop the vegetables into small sections like so.

Slice ginger into small strips.

Heat up the wok (or frying pan). Add oil and heat it to a very hot temperature (the oil should be steaming). Adding some salt now helps reduce any water splatter from adding the vegetables.

Add ginger first to release the fragrances into the oil

Add the vegetables and mix vigorously 

Add the mini dried shrimp and mix it in.

Add a little bit of water (1/2 cup) along the side of the wok. Cover the wok to steam briefly (3-4 minutes).

And you're done!
