Fermented Mustard Greens Sauce Tangy Fermented Mustard Greens Sauce with Garlic and Chili Ingredients: 1 cup fermented mustard greens (chopped, drained if in brine) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 red chili (fresh or dried), chopped (optional for heat) 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tbsp neutral oil (like grapeseed or sunflower) 1/2 tsp sugar or honey (optional, to balance acidity) 1 spring onion, finely sliced (optional for garnish) Directions: In a food processor or blender, combine the fermented mustard greens, garlic, chili, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar/honey if using. Blend until a chunky or smooth consistency is achieved, depending on preference. Slowly stream in the neutral oil while blending to emulsify and mellow the sharp edges. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed — more vinegar for tang, or more soy for umami depth. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with sliced spring onion if desired. Serve as a condiment with grilled meats, noodles, rice bowls, or roasted vegetables.
