Ingredients

  • 1 bag Suan Cai one sealed bag, about one big bunch or two small bunches, diced
  • 1.5 pound ground pork
  • 3 green onion the white part only
  • 5 slices fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves of garlic sliced
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar use less or more, depends on your taste
  • 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Light soy sauce
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • red chili optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Let’s start by soaking the mustard greens in water for 10-15 minutes to remove the sourness and saltiness. The store-bought ready-made Chinese mustard green can sometimes be pretty salty. If you are using the homemade Chinese mustard green, you can cut down the soaking time to 5 minutes.
  • Drain them with clear running water. Pat dry the Chinese mustard greens with paper towels. Then chop them up into small pieces. Set aside.
  • Set the ground pork in a large bowl, add Shaoxing cooking wine, and corn starch and mix well. Tap in salt and pepper to taste over the ground pork.
  • Add the cooking oil to a nonstick wok. Heat it on medium-high heat till it is hot, add the green onion (white part), ginger and garlic in, and stir fry until fragrant.
  • Put pre-marinated ground pork into wok and stir fry until no longer pink.
  • Fold in Chinese mustard greens, stir frequently, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add sugar, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and salt, pepper to taste.
  • Serve it with steamed white rice. Yum! Enjoy!

Notes

  1. You will want to add water gradually so that the dish becomes wet, steamy pork. If you prefer a drier taste, you can leave the water out.
  2. To make moist, tender ground pork, you will want to purchase 70/30 ground pork, so there is a little bit of the fat blended into the ground pork.
