Preserved Chinese Greens

There are many names for this Chinese pickle used throughout the ethnic Chinese communities of Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. They’re called “preserved mustard greens” and “swatow mustard cabbage,” among other things. Sold in vacuum-packed plastic pouches, these salty greens are primarily used in soups. After draining their brine, give them a quick rinse to remove excess salt before cooking with them. Vietnamese: dưa cải chua
