Pickled Mustard Greens

[janzy]

Are pickled mustard greens available at the area Asian supermarkets?

Korean picked mustard greens are quite different from the Chinese kind. If you're looking to make a very specific type of dish, best to stick with the kind the recipe calls for.

I haven't seen fresh pickled mustard greens in the markets for a while, those those are great when they can be found. They usually sit in a barrel by the meat/fish sections.

Thanks for the advice but I wasn't looking to make a specific dish..just one that tastes good...and if I can't find the kind that the exact kind that the"recipe" calls for, I'll improvise.

It worked..

I was thinking of the OP's request for pickled mustard greens, which are called "suen choi" (cantonese pronunciation) in Chinese. There are a few well known stir fry dishes using suen choi, so I was just making sure the OP isn't substituting a kimchee variation because that would yield pretty different results. The two are totally different in taste. :-/

suen choi is what I am looking for. It's for a pork belly recipe, not really a stir fry, but more like a stew. The belly cooks for a couple of hours and the greens are added at the end.

The Korean Mkt in Brookline Village has it. I haven't seen it at Chinatown's CMart; but I haven't looked for it...though I regularly buy fresh mustard greens.

I got on a kimchee making kick last year and mustard greens were 1 my favorites.

I bought some greens yesterday and started the pickling process myself.
