Thai Stir Fried Mustard Greens (ผัดผักกาดเขียว)

Stir-fried mustard greens

Thai Stir Fried Mustard Greens

Ingredients:

• • I bundle fresh mustard greens
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • Optionally, fried garlic flakes for garnish

For this I used 1 bundle of fresh mustard greens.  First I rinse the mustard greens and cut the bottom of the stem off.  Cut them about three inches length.

Note:  If you want a protein in this dish you will want to stir fry it first before starting the mustard greens.

Next I heat a pan and put one table spoon of olive oil, then the green mustard, next the oyster sauce about 2 table spoon. Stir fry until the green mustard is cooked stirring often.  Add a protein if you want to eat this as a main dish.

You can make this a main dish by adding a lean protein such as lean chicken, tofu, seafood or any other lean protein.

As Popey knows richly colored greens are considered a superfood.  It is said to be an anti-cancer food because it:  1. Is a detox food that is high in fiber and stimulates elimination.  2.  As with many richly colored vegetables it is an antioxidant.  3.  It has anti-inflammatory properties.   See the chart via the link below for a list of it's nutrients.
