Asian-Inspired Mustard Greens

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetable Side Dish Recipes. (Asian-Inspired Mustard Greens). I don't know what it is about this combination of flavors, but I could eat these every day. Even though it contains the right ingredients in the right proportions for a teriyaki sauce, which is what I was aiming for originally, to describe the flavor as such would be inaccurate. I'm usually perfectly happy with this and a bowl of rice as a meal in itself, but when I'm forced to share, it pairs well with roasted chicken or just about any kind of pork.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 teaspoons Japanese rice wine (mirin) vinegar

1 teaspoon sake

1 teaspoon white sugar

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place the sesame seeds into a large skillet over medium heat and cook and stir constantly until the seeds are toasted a golden brown and make a continuous crackling noise 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the seeds immediately to a bowl to stop the cooking process. Set seeds aside.

Step 2

Place sesame oil in the hot skillet and heat until it just begins to smoke (this should happen very fast). Place mustard greens into the hot oil and pour in water. With a spatula gently toss the greens until they are wilted and reduced in quantity about 2 minutes. Mix in garlic soy sauce rice wine vinegar sake and sugar.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil stir until sugar has dissolved and cover the skillet. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the greens are tender 10 to 15 minutes. If a thicker sauce is desired remove greens with a slotted spoon and cook the liquid down to desired thickness; return greens to the skillet toss in the pan juices and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
