Have you ever heard of a sweet savory side dish? Actually, even though it is called "sweet" but this side dish does not taste sweet like sweet drinks. Only has a little sweet effect because it uses coconut milk ingredients that have a sweet taste.

Sweet savory dish uses coconut milk ingredients that are often found in Indonesia. So, this time I will serve Mustard Green Flowers as a sweet savory dish.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING INGREDIENTS

Cut the mustard green flowers and leaves. Also, cleaning the mung bean sprouts, I usually remove the roots of the sprouts to make them cleaner. And, cut the tofu into pieces.



STIF-FRY SEASONING

After the vegetables and tofu are cooked, add 2 cups of coconut milk. Cook until simmer, then remove. As a note, use ready-to-drink coconut milk so we don't need to cook them longer, just need to bring them to simmer, about 2-3 minutes.

On this occasion, I served this sweet savory mustard green flower dish with rice. Then, I also added savory fried shallot slices.

Overall, the taste of this dish is indeed savory, especially after adding fried shallots. But there is a slightly sweet effect from the coconut milk. The sweetness itself depends on the quality of the coconut milk ingredient.

In addition, we call this dish sweet as an exception to most spicy Indonesian side dishes. :) So, usually this dish is also suitable for children who do not like or are not used to spicy flavors. So, until next on my another recipe!

You always make such inspiring and beautiful dishes. This is another I need to try! I don't have mustard, but I wonder if I can use any other flower from the mustard (cabbage) family? The ones I have seen all look the same: broccoli, kohlrabi, and actual cabbage have yellow flowers like that. Right now I am growing kale.
That might work but I think none of these are actually as savory as the flowers of true mustard greens.

I thought they have different. Some plant growing flowers because mature phase, and the taste will be bitter.

Substitutes will work but yes, I guess they are not ideal.
Many years ago I planted broccoli but I waited too long to harvest and it made hundreds of yellow flowers but I still ate them. They were actually very sweet !
