Have you ever eaten mustard green flowers before? For me it is a frequent thing. As someone who lives in the countryside, I can easily get stock of mustard green flowers. Several times, I even planted them myself. I leave the mustard green plants unharvested until they have flowered.

My late mom often cooks mustard green flowers in the simplest way, namely the stir-fry way. Then, served as a side dish with warm rice. That simplicity is what I remember.

I miss my late mom. The bright mustard green flowers color reminds me of my late mom's beautiful smile. It made a lot of people smile. mustard green flowers that sway in the wind like my late mom's beautiful body which sways gently when she listens to music.

I just miss my late mom. How she is always patient even though we don't have enough money to eat. How she always manages to bring home veggies from nature to cook. All of them are about beautiful survival.

Mustard green flowers are indeed cooked as a side dish type of food. So, we really need other ingredients to serve them. In addition, the size of the mustard green flowers will become smaller when cooked. So, make sure you serve mustard green flowers with other ingredients so that it becomes quite filling.

In this recipe, I used a sweet potato, as well as Tempeh to serve stir-fried mustard green flowers.

I'm going to cook them with the air fryer method. Besides being able to save time, of course using an air fryer feels simpler to me than using an oven. But of course you can roast Tempeh and sweet potato in the oven if you don't have an air fryer.


Air Fryer Sweet Potato and Tempeh

Before cooking mustard green flowers, I first cooked sweet potato and Tempeh. So, while waiting for them to cook in the air fryer, I can work on a side of mustard green flowers. Simply save time.

First, I preheat the air fryer for 5-10 minutes. My air fryer doesn't have temperature settings. So I just timed it. You can set your equipment to the temperature normally used for roasting food, about 400-450 degrees F.

Next, I peeled the sweet potato and cut it into small pieces. I formed the sweet potato with circular pieces following the shape of the sweet potato itself. You can also cut sweet potatoes in elongated shapes like fries.

Don't forget to wash the sweet potato pieces and dry them. Then, I put the sweet potato pieces in the air fryer basket.

I also put the Tempeh pieces in the same air fryer basket. My air fryer basket is enough for all of that. That's really great for saving cooking time.

I use them 15 minutes per side. Then flipped their sides again so they were perfectly cooked.

When serving, I serve sweet potato pieces like lollipop shapes with a stick of ice cream. Oh, that's cute. ❤️

Stir-Fried Mustard Green Flowers

For the seasoning, I used ingredients that I usually use to cook other vegetables. It's like a highlight that should not be forgotten. Here are the ingredients for the flavor:

  • 2 tablespoons of chopped onion and red onion
  • 2 bay leaves. Dried or fresh one. But this one is optional. You can use other herbs to add fragrance to the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt or according to your taste

First of all, separate the flowers and tough stems. I didn't use the stems nor did some of the older leaves. This will make the food taste bitter.
