Boiled Mustard Greens With Spicy Sauce

This was a favorite recipe I learned at the Kushi Institute. The flavor is sweet, strong and hearty and is helpful in ridding the upper body of excess mucus.

• 4 cups mustard greens, thinly sliced


• 1/4 cup spring water


• 1/4 cup tamari


• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger root

1. Place 1/4 inch of water in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Toss in the mustard greens and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Greens should be bright green and slightly crisp.


2. In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the water, tamari and ginger. Place greens on a serving dish and spoon sauce over. Serve immediately.
