Chinese Mustard Green Soup
>> Apr 23, 2010
Ah, another of my favourite soup, Chinese Mustard Green Soup (in Cantonese,“tai-kai-choy” soup)!
It has been a long time favourite of our family. The Chinese Mustard Green has quite a distinct bitter taste but taste great when boiled with chicken and red dates. It's very tasty.
Here’s the recipe,
2000 ml water
500 – 600g fresh chinese mustard green
15pc red dates
300g chicken breast or chicken thighs, fats trimmed
Salt to taste (about ½ tsp)
- Bring the pot of water to boil.
- Cut and wash well the leaves and the stems (dirt is often caught between the stems), please don't throw away the stems
- Add in chicken breast or thighs, let it boil for 30 minutes.
- Add in red dates and “tai-kai-choy”
- Lower flame to small and let it boil for another 30 minutes.
- Salt to taste (individual preference)
Serve hot.
Why don't you give this a try?

I love this kai choy soup too! Sometime I also like to cook with dried shrimps and lean meat.
BTW I had left comments in your previous two posts, seems like the comments are not loaded.

I like this vegetable. My mom used to add this vegetable into rice porridge. It's very delicious.
Uncle Lee - thank you for your kind comment. So sorry, no more left! :-) The big pot of soup was finished by the 3 of us...hehe...not that level yet...just sharing some simple and tasty recipes with fellow readers. Have a good day! :-)
Mary - thanks for dropping by. That's interesting! Was the vege salted or pickled?
It's been a while since I made mustard soup. My mom always make hers from home made pickled ones. You just gave me a good soup idea, Rita.
Sounds really good! *:)'s

Hi Rosebelle...pickled? Is it the salted ones? It'll be different, try this ... :-)
I love " gai choy soup " too ! But do not drink it too often as I heard from my mum that our blood will be diluted if we consume too much of " gai choy " especially for women
