Pickled Mustard Greens and Eggs
Pickled Mustard Greens and Eggs are a common, traditional Thai dish that I was craving this week after seeing it on a Thai cooking Facebook group. My recipes are typically more traditional than what you find on the food websites made in America. My husband, Adam, makes stuff up using my ingredients a lot but not me, I like the food I grew up with. If you like the tangy taste of pickles or pickled foods and the savory flavor and texture of hot eggs, this recipe is surprisingly satisfying.
Pickled Mustard Greens and Eggs
I remember back when I was little, growing up that I was one of the not so many kids that loved spicy foods. I remember that I always picked the spicy and savory foods, but Pickled Mustard Greens was one of the none-spicy foods I chose. Pickled mustard greens have a crunchy texture both before and after they are cooked. I sometimes use them as a topping for noodles and stir-fried dishes. It has a sweet, tangy, and savory taste which makes the dish have such a rich and full flavor.
Let's make the dish!
Making the Pickled Mustard Greens and Eggs is very easy. This recipe calls only 6 ingredients including pickled mustard greens, eggs, garlic, olive oil or cooking oil, fish sauce, and stevia. The key to making this recipe is like the other stirfried recipe; you can't let the ingredients sit on the wok and let the heat cook them. You have to do the work, keep stir-frying unless you like your food to be burned (I mean crisp!) We always change the typical cooking style to make it a little healthier.
Pickled Mustard Greens
Different brands of pickled mustard greens have slightly different flavors. Some brands may sweeter than the others, some brands may be salty and tangy than the others. This "Pigeon Brand" is a product from Thailand and it's my favorite so far.
