Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Homemade pickled mustard greens
  • 3 chili peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (Can use less, depends on your taste)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak 2 pieces of suan cai in water for 2-3 minutes. The soaking time depends on the brands and how salty and sour the suan cai is. If it is store bought suan cai, I normally soak it for 10-15 minutes. My homemade pickled mustard greens recipe, I just soak for around 2-3 minutes. 
  2. Mince 3 cloves of garlic.
  3. Cut 3 chili peppers. (You can use less chili peppers, depending on how spicy you want. Also, if you use Thai chili pepper, I recommend only use 1.)
  4. Then, drain and squeeze the suan cai. Cut or dice the pickled mustard greens. 
  5. Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a pan, turn on fire to medium.  Add the minced garlic and cut chili peppers. Stir fry them a little bit. 
  6. Next, add the cut suan cai and 2 tablespoons of sugar (Can use less sugar, depends on your taste). Stir fry them a little bit. 

Notes

  • Soak or wash the suan cai. If you purchase suan cai from a store or market, normally I will soak it for 10-15 minutes before using it because they are very sour and salty. 
  • This time I used my homemade pickled mustard greens, so I just soak it for 2-3 minutes. 
  • Stir fry garlic and chili peppers, then add suan cai and sugar.
