  Prepare the ingredients

  After buying, separate the leaves of the mustard greens, wash them thoroughly, drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces about 1/2 finger wide.

  Peel the garlic and slice it thinly.

  Tip: If you have time and want to ensure food safety, you can soak the mustard greens in diluted salt water for 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse with clean water and let them drain.

  Blanch the mustard greens

  Place a pan of water on the stove, wait for the water to boil, then add 1 teaspoon of salt and the cut mustard greens.

  Use chopsticks to push the greens underwater and boil on high heat for about 1 minute to help the greens soften slightly and reduce bitterness, then turn off the heat, remove the greens to a colander, and let them drain.

  Note:

  • Do not blanch the greens for too long as it will make them mushy and lose their crunch, resulting in a less tasty dish.
  • Blanch the greens over high heat to keep them bright green and make the dish more visually appealing.

  Stir-fried mustard greens

  Place the pan back on the stove, wait for the pan to dry, then add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add in all the chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  Once the garlic is fragrant, add the drained mustard greens and stir-fry evenly. Season with 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, then mix well to allow the greens to absorb the seasoning.

  Stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until the greens are cooked and fragrant, then add 1 teaspoon of pepper, adjust the seasoning to taste, turn off the heat, and serve on a plate.
