Pickled Mustard Green soup and spare ribs (Tom Jued Pak Gad Dong Ka Dook Mou)


As I already told you from  stir-fried Pickled Mustard Green with eggs recipe. This Pickled Mustard Greens are made from Bok Choy or Chinese cabbage when it is fresh.  The Pickled Mustard Green or Pak Gad Dong are a traditional Chinese favorite. They’re the sour chopped veggies you get in the Chinese food style.  And here in Thailand this is another one of those simple dishes Thais local for a long time. And after our cooking you will cannot find salt taste, but may a little sour from the original taste. Enjoy ka! ;D
