    Stir-frying tones down the inherent hotness of the mustard greens, while coconut and lime contribute a slightly exotic flavor twist; red radish adds contrasting color and crunch. Pair this with curries and other spicy dishes.

    1. Heat oil in a stir fry pan.
    2. Stir fry the mustard green stalks.
    3. Add mustard greens and radishes, stirring constantly.
    4. When greens are just wilted, stir in the coconut.
    5. Remove from heat, add lime and salt.
    6. Serve and enjoy!

    How long does this dish last?

    This dish is best eaten right away. You could save it in the fridge up to 3 days, but it will get soggy. If you don't think that you can eat the entire dish at once, you can half the recipe.

    What are mustard greens?

    Mustard greens are the green part of the mustard plant. A mustard plant has yellow flowers and seeds, along with green stalks and leaves. The seeds are ground up into the mustard spice you are probably used to, but the greens are also edible.

    Here are more recipes for hardy greens.
