Ohitashi

This is an incredibly simple yet delicious Japanese way to use your spicy Asian greens.  While any will work, you may want to stick with wider leaved types as you’ll want large leaves to wrap around and hold together the roll. 

1 pound oriental mustard greens
Salt
Soy Sauce
Hot Chili oil
White sesame seeds

Parboil the mustard in salted water, drain, and rinse under cold water.  Remove the largest leaves, and arrange the remaining with the stems all on one end.  Roll the largest leaves around the rest to make a cigar.  Squeeze dry.  Cut into 1” wide rounds and garnish with soy, chili oil and sesame seeds.
