Homemade Tangy Pickles

Sun-dried mustard green stems are cleaned and cured into a crunchy, pleasantly tart pickle, prized for keeping that snappy bite through the season.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Choose choy sum that is uniform in size; pick the long ones, because we only eat the stems, so don't choose the short ones.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Break each vegetable apart and hang it on a rod or string to dry for one day. It’s okay when the skin is slightly shriveled, but not too much. The texture should remain somewhat crispy.

    Sprinkle salt to marinate and draw out the water, then pour out the water {I mix the salt evenly and then put a little in my mouth to taste it; if I think it's too bland, I add a little more}

    Chop ginger, garlic, and chili, and mix evenly with the vegetables
