How to cook it
-
Wash the mustard greens well and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
-
Mix the ground pork with the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and the white pepper.
-
Bring the water to a boil in a pot over high heat.
-
Pinch off small bits of the seasoned pork directly into the boiling water so they form loose meatballs, skimming any foam.
-
Simmer until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the mustard greens and simmer just until they wilt and turn tender but still bright, about 3 minutes.
-
Season with the fish sauce and remaining salt, adjusting to taste.
-
Ladle into bowls, scatter with scallions, and serve hot.
