Cooking asian greens?!
Cooking asian greens?
I bought some asian greens (nae-choy) at a Korean market and want to cook them. I have cooked on-choy, bok-choy before, but they came out fine.
Last night I cooked this green in the same way, but it was extremely bitter. I usually put oil, garlic, and black pepper and then just sautee. Any suggestions?
Answers:
i'm used to having naechoy actually prepared in a dish. yes It can be bitter, but its alot better than another asian green Umpalaya- well Umpalaya leaves (Bitter Melon)...anyways, you're best bet is to cook them with beans and meat w/ various other vegetables and expand your ingredient list. Also to take away from some of the bitterness, you can never go wrong with putting it in a stew or soup.
