🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the crisp texture of Southeast Asian or Chinese-style stir-fried vegetables at home
  • Home cooks looking to use up leftover green mustard greens and make a great side dish in just 5 minutes

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • green mustard greens 300g
  • dried chili 2~3 pieces
  • minced garlic 1 tablespoon
  • minced scallion a little
  • vegetable oil 2 tablespoons
  • salt a little
  • chicken powder 1/3 tablespoon
  • oyster sauce 1/2 tablespoon
  • sesame oil 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. Trim the tough stems from the green mustard greens and wash thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
  2. Dissolve a pinch of salt in water and soak the cleaned greens for 10 minutes to form a protective layer on the surface, preventing discoloration during stir-frying.
  3. Cut the dried chilies into small pieces using scissors, then remove all seeds inside to prevent burning during cooking.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, add minced scallion, minced garlic, and seedless dried chilies, and sauté gently until the aroma becomes strong.
  5. Once the aroma rises, increase the heat to high and add the drained green mustard greens, stirring quickly to cook them.
  6. When the greens begin to wilt slightly, add a pinch of salt, 1/3 tablespoon chicken powder, and 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce, and mix quickly to season.
  7. As soon as the greens are crisp and cooked through, turn off the heat, drizzle with sesame oil, and toss lightly to finish.
  1. Wash the green mustard greens well, soak in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
  2. Cut the dried chilies into pieces and remove the seeds; prepare the scallion and garlic.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the dried chilies, scallion, and garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add the green mustard greens to high heat and stir-fry quickly, then season with salt, chicken powder, and oyster sauce.
  5. Turn off the heat when the greens just start to wilt, drizzle with sesame oil, and mix quickly to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Soaking green mustard greens in salted water beforehand helps maintain their bright green color and prevents browning.
  • Always remove the seeds from dried chilies before cooking, as they burn easily—cut them with scissors and shake out the seeds carefully.
  • For crisp vegetables, always stir-fry over high heat for a short time—this preserves the satisfying crunch.
