    How to Make Savory Edamame and Tofu with Tangy Pickled Mustard Greens

    1. Prepare the seasoning mixture

    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of water, 4 teaspoons of Shaoxing wine, 1.5 teaspoons of light soy sauce, 0.75 teaspoon of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of fine sea salt, 0.5 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil, and 0.25 teaspoon of white pepper powder. Mix well until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.

    2. Cook the edamame

    Heat a tablespoon of neutral oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the edamame that you’ve rinsed in hot water to thaw. Stir-fry the edamame for 2 to 3 minutes until they are tender and lightly blistered. Once done, transfer the edamame to a plate and set aside.

    3. Cook the ginger

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of neutral oil to the wok. Toss in the slice of fresh ginger and let it cook for about 30 seconds.

    4. Add chilies and mustard greens

    Add the dried red chilies and finely chopped pickled mustard greens to the wok. Stir-fry for about a minute.

    5. Add garlic and tofu

    Add the minced garlic and cubed tofu to the wok. Stir-fry for another minute.

    6. Combine ingredients and serve

    Return the cooked edamame to the wok and pour in the seasoning mixture. Stir-fry everything together for a couple of minutes, making sure the seasoning evenly coats all the ingredients. Serve hot and enjoy.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Quality of Ingredients

    Opt for high-quality, non-GMO edamame and the freshest tofu you can find. Firm or extra-firm tofu is recommended for better texture when cooked.

    Balancing Flavors

    Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning with high-quality soy sauce, sea salt, and a touch of sugar to balance the acidity from the pickled greens.

    Pressing Tofu

    Press the tofu prior to cooking to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier exterior when seared.

    Cooking Tofu

    Use a nonstick or cast iron skillet for searing tofu, and cook undisturbed for a golden crust. Avoid moving it around too much.

    Pickling Mustard Greens

    Use high-quality vinegar for pickling and allow sufficient time for the greens to develop flavor, preferably making them a day ahead.
