What sort of recipes do you use to cook it?

2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
1⁄4 cup white vinegar
1⁄2 lb. Asian mustard greens
3 red or green serrano chiles, split lengthwise

1. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water, sugar, salt, and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat. Cool slightly.

2. Using a paring knife, trim stems of washed mustard greens from leaves. Cut stems into 2" pieces and place in a 1-quart measuring cup. Coarsely chop enough greens to fill the measuring cup when added to stems and packed down gently.

3. Pack stems, leaves, and chiles into a clean glass 1-quart jar. Pour hot liquid onto greens, making sure that the stems are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 days before serving.

During the International Book fair early this month in Kuala Lumpur, Marshall & Cavendish (a renowned Publisher) sold some cookbooks, and I bought a few Chinese Cooking books which were sold at RMB10 (MYR5) each. I would browse through whenever I have free time. Wan
