  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil

How to cook it

Prep timer

20:00
  1. Set a large skillet or saute pan over medium to medium-high heat and keep the ingredients close so the cooking stays fast and even.
  2. 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you cut the mustard greens into 1-inch pieces and rinse them thoroughly; if using leafy greens, keep stems and leaves separate, and prepare your garlic and ginger.
  3. 2. Blanch the stems in boiling salted water for 30 seconds (or leaves for 10 seconds if using), then immediately plunge into cold water to halt cooking; drain well.
  4. 3. Heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium heat, add 1.5 tablespoons oil, and cook the garlic, ginger, and whole dried chilies with a pinch of salt for 20 seconds until fragrant.
  5. 4. Toss in the blanched greens along with the remaining ½ tablespoon oil, stir-fry for 30 seconds, and season with salt to taste; the greens should remain bright green and crunchy.
  6. 5. Remove from heat, drizzle with toasted sesame oil if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
