Cooking Tips
Mustard greens, whether round or long, are also slightly bitter. They taste bitter and are usually cooked with thick-tasting ingredients, such as tempeh and salted eggs. However, instead of covering the bitterness with a thick layer of bitterness, a more direct approach is to use edible soda to drain the mustard greens. Because the alkaline taste of soda can neutralize the bitterness of mustard greens.
After washing, there will be no soda and bitterness, and the color of the vegetables can be kept green. In addition, there is also a small secret when we cook vegetables is that we must master the cooking time accurately.
When we boil vegetables with a bitter taste, such as mustard greens and watercress, they must be put in boiled water, and then the fire is high and the time for the water to boil again is shortened. The longer you boil the water, the more bitter the dish will be. Therefore, when there is a lot of vegetables to cook, it is better to boil them several times.
