SALTED DRIED MUSTARD GREEN

Ingedients;

2 kilo local mustard green vegetables

300 g coarse salt.

2 litre water

Method;

Wash the mustard green ,drain until the mustard green is dry.

In a big basin,add in the water,coarse salt,use hand to stir until the salt dissolved,and well mixed .

Add in the mustard green,the water is not enough to cover it,it o.k. 

Use a big metal plate,put on top of the vegetables and top with a heavy object.(I use the mortar and pestle) In a few hour the water will rise enough to cover the mustard green.

Soaked in the salt water for three day.After three day ,drain off the water,lightly squeeze the water.

Use a bamboo pole or clothes hanger to hand the soaked mustard green and put into the sun to dry for a weeks or until the leaves is very dry.When hanged the mustard green,open every leaves ,so that it dry faster.Store in an clean air tight container and  kept in the frigde.it can last quite long.
