梅菜扣肉
Mei Cai Kou Rou (Pork belly with aged mustard greens...I added tagerine peel and shitake mushroom too) and puerh. Nothing like it!

Just pairing. Really helps wash that fat down!

I am talking about aged/salted mustard greens (甜梅菜):

Such a flavorful dish! I mixed two kinds of preserved mustard greens. One is the whole piece, like just pulled out of the ground. The other is more cut and processed maybe with sugar(?) So many variations of recipes. This time I followed one that had the muy choi pan sautéed without oil to dry it out after washing off the salt. I think it was a great idea. The muy choi soaked up much more flavor from the broth and soy sauce!

The tangerine rind and mushroom worked really well!

I will now have to try with fresh mustard greens. Great idea! Thank you.

I'm going to have to try making some! I eat blanched mustard greens as a side dish fairly often.
