Below is a recipe for Asian Mustard Greens which we found at the Green Giant site. We did a few substitutions; anaheim pepper for the orange chili pepper and peanut oil for the olive oil. Also added a side of chicken, so it was not a vegetarian meal.
This is not your traditional mustard green dish! The combination of Asian-inspired ingredients with sauteed mustard greens makes this a flavorful and aromatic side dish. Served atop cooked white rice, Asian Mustard Greens becomes a hearty vegetarian meal. But…watch out for that chili pepper. Orange chili peppers can be among the hottest peppers around.
Ingredients
1/4 cup sesame seed oil
1/4 cup extra light olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 small orange chili pepper, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1 bag (1 pound) Green Giant® Fresh Mustard Greens
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
Preparation Directions
1. In a large skillet, combine sesame oil and olive oil on medium-high heat. Oil should not smoke. Add garlic, chili pepper and ginger. Stir continuously for 1 minute.
2. Add mustard greens and stir and toss for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. In separate bowl, dissolve sugar in vinegar. Toss greens with vinegar mixture and garnish with sesame seeds.
4 Servings.
