Savory Boiled Pork with Mustard Greens Recipe for a Delicious Meal

A comforting bowl of boiled pork with vibrant mustard greens in a savory broth.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb pork (pork shoulder or pork belly works great)

• 1 bunch mustard greens (washed and roughly chopped)

• 4 cups water or enough to boil the pork

• 3 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

• 1 small piece ginger, sliced (optional)

• 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, or to taste)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: fresh chili or chili flakes for heat

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pork: Rinse the pork and cut into large chunks.

2. Boil the pork: In a pot, add the pork chunks, water, and if using, sliced ginger and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook gently for about 45 minutes or until the pork is tender.

3. Add mustard greens: Once the pork is tender, add the chopped mustard greens into the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the greens are wilted but still vibrant.

4. Season: If using, add minced garlic, fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir gently. For spice, add fresh chili or chili flakes if desired.

5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the boiled pork and mustard greens hot, ideally with steamed rice.
