Minced Pork & Olive Vegetables Stir-Fry

If you're wondering what on the world "olive vegetables" are, it's olives together with salted mustard greens cooked inwards vegetable stone oil till everything is a night light-green mush. And what a marvelous mush it is!

The potent flavours from the olives together with mustard greens meld together together with mellow during the long hours of cooking. The gustation is similar olives, simply better. It's to a greater extent than complex, to a greater extent than nuanced, rounder, smoother . . .

Olive vegetables are an absolute delight amongst champaign rice porridge, directly out of the bottle. But I would nation that, wouldn't I? I'm Teochew together with "olive vegetables", aka 乌橄榄菜, is a Teochew specialty. It's 1 of our many ways of preserving vegetables.

Honestly though, I swear I'm non biased. Why would anyone consume an oily, inky dark mush – since the Sung dynasty, plainly – unless it tastes actually good?

Making 乌橄榄菜 is a long, slowly process. Want to run into how it's done inwards China? Here's a video – inwards Teochew (!) amongst Chinese subtitles – on a schoolhouse instructor turned farmer turned human being of affairs who's made skilful producing 乌橄榄菜 (catch him around 3:40 looking mighty pleased amongst himself equally he relates his success story):

I likewise can't fathom cooking anything elaborate inwards this heat. The quicker, the easier, the better.

Nothing is quicker together with easier than stir-frying minced pork amongst 乌橄榄菜. I don't possess got to cutting anything except for a few cloves of garlic. Which takes all of v seconds if yous whack 'em difficult amongst a cleaver à la Martin Yan. The pork, because it's minced, takes all of 2 minutes to cook. It's done earlier I larn all hot together with bothered. Now that's what I telephone cry upward a cool dish for a hot hateful solar daytime . . .
