How to cook it
-
Cut the mustard greens into 2-inch pieces and the carrot into thin matchsticks.
-
Cut the scallions into 2-inch lengths.
-
Spread the vegetables on a tray and let them sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to wilt slightly, which helps them stay crisp once pickled.
-
Warm the water with the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small pot, stirring until fully dissolved, then let the brine cool to room temperature.
-
Pack the wilted vegetables into a clean jar.
-
Pour the cooled brine over the vegetables so they are fully submerged, weighing them down with a small clean plate or bag of water if needed.
-
Leave at room temperature until pleasantly tangy and slightly fermented, 1 to 2 days, then refrigerate.
-
Serve chilled alongside rice and braised or grilled meats.
