Pickled Mustard Greens Ingredients: 

Ingredients:  ▢ Gai choi (Mustard Greens) ▢ Kosher salt  ▢ Washed rice water

Preparation:

1. First, put rice in a bowl and pour cold boiled water to wash the rice.

Try to rub the rice and make milky colored water. Only need the washed rice water later.

Cooking:

2. Wash and soak gai choi very well to remove sand and dirt.  Boil a pot of water, wait until it’s boiling. Then, add washed gai choi and make sure all the leaves are soaked in boiling water. Don’t need to completely cook. Just soak in boiling water for a few seconds. The purpose of this is to kill bacterias and sterilize the vegetables because I washed the vegetables and did not put them under the sun.

Cooking:

3. After that, put the boiled gai choy in a bowl to drain excess water.

Cooking:

4. Next, rub kosher salt on boiled gai choy. This step is very important to rub salt on every leaf.

Cooking:

5. Next, put the salted gai choi into a glass container. Then, pour washed rice water and fill it up. Make sure the liquid covers all the vegetables. Let it ferment for 21 days or 3 weeks.
