Stir-fried Chinese Mustard Greens (Xuelihong)
Main Ingredients: Oil, Garlic, Dried Red Chili Peppers, Mustard Greens
If you're looking for a unique and flavorful side dish, try this recipe for stir-fried Chinese mustard greens. The greens are seasoned with soy sauce and garlic for an Asian-inspired twist on the traditional Southern greens. Serve them up with your Beer Can Chicken for a fusion of flavors.
Ingredients:
• 1 large bunch of mustard greens
• 4 slices of bacon, chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
To start off, you'll want to prep your mustard greens by washing them thoroughly and removing any tough stems. Then, chop them into bite-sized pieces and set them aside. In a large pot, cook the bacon until it becomes crispy. Remove it from the pot and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
Next, add the onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until they become soft and translucent. Then, add the chopped mustard greens to the pot and stir until they are coated in the bacon fat. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let the greens simmer for about 10 minutes, until they are tender. Then, add in the apple cider vinegar and sugar, stirring until they are well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Finally, add the crispy bacon back into the pot and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a deliciously savory dish. Serve the southern-style mustard greens hot as a side dish or over rice as a main course.
In just a few simple steps, you can transform ordinary mustard greens into a southern-style masterpiece. This dish is perfect for any occasion, whether it's a family dinner or a potluck with friends.
