1. Blanch Fava Beans
If using fresh fava beans, blanch them in a pot of salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender and vibrant green. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel if necessary.
2. Heat Oil and Add Scallion
Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add the finely chopped scallion and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add Pickled Mustard Greens
Add the finely chopped pickled mustard greens to the wok and stir-fry for 1 minute, mixing well with the scallions.
4. Add Fava Beans
Add the shelled fava beans to the wok and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they are coated in the mixture and heated through.
5. Season and Serve
Season with 0.25 teaspoon of salt, 0.125 teaspoon of ground white pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil. Stir well to combine and serve immediately.
Choose fresh, young fava beans and artisanal or locally made fermented mustard greens for the best flavor and texture.
Blanch and double-peel your fava beans for a tender texture in the final dish.
Start with aromatics, followed by fava beans, and add fermented mustard greens towards the end to preserve their texture.
Adjust seasonings based on the taste of your fermented mustard greens, and consider adding sugar or honey to balance bitterness.
Use a wok or heavy-bottomed pan and ensure it's hot before adding ingredients for a proper sear.
