« on: February 15, 2016, 01:49:05 PM »

At the grocery store they were just under "greens" or collard greens or something.  No specific name.  There were like 3 different kinds under the same "greens."

Thanks, Lexicon.  They don't really look like any of the ones in your photo though.  Although, if I had to guess, I'd say they do look very similar to the collard greens.  I've had collard greens before and they are slightly different from my photo.

LoneStar, that's right.  They do look like mature arugula.

What you have are just the petals of the larger plant.

Moonangel,

Can you ever distinguish between zaub paj, zaub kav ntev, and zaub nkauj fa? You can find them all at a particular Hmong flea market at the produce section.

It's not those.  They had those too.  I love those.

I know nothing about those zaubs.  I can't even imagine what they look like.  I don't shop at Hmong markets because I am about an hour away from the closest one (taking the highway)...and there are only like two of them (maybe just one now) in our state.  The closes Asian market is a Korean market about half an hour away.  The next closest is a Thai market about 40 mins away.

I know nothing about green too.  At the Asian store I just get the one that seem to be more for stir fry.  I'm boiling fresh chicken or pork then there is only one kind for it. 

Next time I'm going to try kale again because it didn't taste right for me the 1st time.  I guess it is more American green and perfect for just plain stir fry.

LOL!  Yep. 

As for kale, I've tried two kinds.  One is frilly on the edges and the other one is kinda flat and has a touch of purple.  There are other varieties but those are the only two I've tried.  I don't like the frilly one because the stalk is still too hard even after cooking.  I heard it's great baked into crispy things.  The flat purplish one is tasty. I like that one.

I love zaub qaub.  I don't know which greens Hmong peeps use though.  My mom makes it so maybe I'll ask her some day.
