  • About

Chinese mustard greens were brought from Asia to this country by Chinese workers and are now grown commercially on the West and East coasts for the Chinese market. They are not as pungent as native American mustard greens. The stem is often used by itself. It can be pickled, or simply stir-fried in ginger-flavored oil for a delicious warm salad. The vegetable can also be treated like bok choy or used in soups.
