ASIAN-INSPIRED MUSTARD GREENS



Asian-Inspired Mustard Greens image

I don't know what it is about this combination of flavors, but I could eat these every day. Even though it contains the right ingredients in the right proportions for a teriyaki sauce, which is what I was aiming for originally, to describe the flavor as such would be inaccurate. I'm usually perfectly happy with this and a bowl of rice as a meal in itself, but when I'm forced to share, it pairs well with roasted chicken or just about any kind of pork.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
6 cups washed and chopped mustard greens
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon minced garlic, or to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons Japanese rice wine (mirin) vinegar
1 teaspoon sake
1 teaspoon white sugar

Steps:

  • Place the sesame seeds into a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir constantly until the seeds are toasted a golden brown and make a continuous crackling noise, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the seeds immediately to a bowl to stop the cooking process. Set seeds aside.
  • Place sesame oil in the hot skillet, and heat until it just begins to smoke (this should happen very fast). Place mustard greens into the hot oil, and pour in water. With a spatula, gently toss the greens until they are wilted and reduced in quantity, about 2 minutes. Mix in garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sake, and sugar.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, stir until sugar has dissolved, and cover the skillet. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If a thicker sauce is desired, remove greens with a slotted spoon, and cook the liquid down to desired thickness; return greens to the skillet, toss in the pan juices, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

  • Remove the tough stems from the mustard greens: This will make them more tender and easier to eat.

  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the greens plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the greens over medium-high heat: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Stir the greens frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Season the greens with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve the greens immediately: They are best when they are fresh and hot.
