Step 4
Chop the greens finely, then gently squeeze out some of the water by hand.
✅ Done when: The greens are evenly chopped and only slightly damp when squeezed, not dripping wet.
Mince the pork finely, then mix in light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt until well combined.
✅ Done when: The seasonings are evenly distributed and the minced pork looks uniform in color and slightly sticky.
Heat oil in a wok, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the minced pork and stir-fry.
✅ Done when: The garlic is aromatic and the pork has lost its pink color and is cooked through.
Add the mustard greens and continue stir-frying together. Finish with a few drops of oil, toss a few more times, and the dish is ready to serve.
✅ Done when: The greens are heated through and evenly coated, glossy from the finishing oil, and ready to plate.
