Fermented Mustard Greens With Eggs

Get a few leaves with stems of fermented mustard greens from your homemade Burong Mustasa. Cut them up in small pieces and set aside. About 1 cup.

 You need:

  • 2 TBS chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed and chopped
  • ½ cup chopped or diced tomatoes
  • 2 to 3 eggs, beaten.

Sauté garlic until fragrant then add the onion.  Sauté until onion is transparent then add the tomatoes and the fermented greens and cook until tomatoes and greens are cooked.  Then add the beaten eggs.  Cook stirring lightly until the eggs are set and done. 

Salt to taste.  More than likely it is already salty.

You may rinse and squeeze the greens before chopping if it is too salty or too sour to your taste.  Slice the leaves lengthwise then small pieces crosswise.  Otherwise the leaves will be long. Then proceed as above.

This is a side dish but to some it may be the main dish eaten with rice or bread. 

I also like it at breakfast with rice.
