How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh pickled mustard greens (sour greens) that are not too sour
- To buy good pickled mustard greens, you need to choose those that are golden yellow and have a mild fragrant smell. Do not buy those that are still too green as they are not fully fermented and will taste spicy and pungent, which is very unpleasant.
- Additionally, do not choose pickled mustard greens that have turned dark as they have been stored for too long, and they will be very sour and not tasty anymore.
- Moreover, to ensure food safety and hygiene, you can also easily pickle mustard greens at home following the recipe shared by Tastetutorial.com.
How to choose quality fried tofu
- When buying tofu, you need to hold it and check its softness; if the tofu is evenly yellow, not broken, has a fragrant and fatty smell characteristic of soybeans, then that is a delicious, high-quality piece of fried tofu.
- Avoid buying pieces that smell rancid or sour, as they may have been stored for too long or contain impurities; consuming these substances over time can affect health.

Prepare sour mustard greens
Wash the sour mustard greens thoroughly, drain, and then chop into bite-sized pieces. To avoid the dish being too sour or too salty when braising, you should wash and squeeze the sour mustard greens thoroughly about 3 – 4 times with clean water. For the last time, squeeze the sour mustard greens to remove excess water and place them in a basket.

Prepare the other ingredients
Fried tofu bought should be rinsed with water to clean, drained, then cut into small square pieces or long pieces as desired.
Green onions should have the root part cut off and the wilted, yellow leaves removed, then washed clean and cut separately into bulbs and green parts. The bulb part of the onion is minced, and the green onion is diced.

Braised Tofu with Pickled Mustard Greens
Put a pot on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pot and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the minced green onion to sauté until fragrant, then add the cut tofu and stir-fry briefly.
Next, season the pot with a mixture of spices including: 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 teaspoon of vegetarian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Mix well and stir-fry until the tofu absorbs the spices evenly, then add a little water until it just covers the tofu and continue braising the tofu over low heat for 5 minutes.
Then, add the pickled mustard greens to the pot, mix well and braise until the liquid in the pot thickens. Adjust the seasoning to taste, add chopped green onions, mix well and turn off the heat.
