Cambodian Pickle Green Mustard Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chinese mustard
- 8 cups water
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons raw rice
Instructions
Prepare Mustard Greens:
- Wash the Chinese mustard greens thoroughly.
- Let them air dry overnight if you’re in a cold state, or leave them outside for a few hours if you’re in a hot state.
- Cut or shred the mustard greens into your desired size and place them in a clean, sterilized jar.
Prepare Pickling Solution:
- In a pot, combine water, sugar, salt, and rice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow it to cool for 15 minutes.
- Pour the hot pickling solution over the mustard greens in the jar. Ensure the greens are fully submerged.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar.
- Seal the jar and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to develop. For a stronger flavor, you can let it pickle for a few days.
Serve:
- Once pickled to your liking, the Chinese mustard can be served as a side dish or a condiment.
Notes
Remember, the longer the mustard greens sit in the pickling solution, the more intense the flavor will become. Enjoy your homemade pickled Chinese mustard!
