Yi Bin Sui Mi Ya Cai - YiBin SuiMiYaCai - Dried Vegetable, 8.1oz (230g)

Product was exactly as described. Perfect for my Dan Dan Noodle recipe.

Product is good but cost is too high

So happy I found these fermented mustard greens. They give my Sichuan dishes that restaurant touch. Just wish it came in a jar or some sort of container to keep it in. I imagine authentic cooks use it much more often than I do and maybe quite a bit more.

Exactly what I needed

I bought it for Dan Dan Noodles - an online recipe listed it. I'd never tried it before, and I absolutely love it. It's hard to describe the flavor - very umami, not sour, deep and complex. I've since used it in soups, ramen, salad dressing, etc. My 9 year old daugher adores it too. I took it out of the packet and put it in a small tupperware container and it seems to stay fine going on month two now. It sort of tastes a bit of delicious olive tappenade, very hard to describe, but I really like it. It is one of those secret ingredient things that adds complexity without being overwhelming. I'm glad I heard about it and tried it. I'll keep in the pantry from now on.

Honestly, i was making a dish that called for this ingredient so i spent the money... what a waste! The texture is like eating partially mulched grass (not that I've tried but it was the best imagery/analogy I could come up with). And, the most disappointing bit is that it had so little flavor that all it really added to the dish was the disgusting texture. I tried the recipe again but used veggies I pickled on my own and it turned out a thousand times better. So... if your recipe calls for this ingredient, spare yourself the cost and just look up a quick pickling recipe (many are so easy and fast I can't believe I didn't learn to do it sooner) - and as a bonus, you get to pick and choose your favorite veggies to add (instead of eating this mystery pickled veggie concoction). I really hope this helps those of you who are experimenting with new recipes with unfamiliar ingredients (like so many of us started doing while COVID had us cooped up).

A must have for Dan Dan noodles. Great flavor, texture and aromatic. A perfect choice.

I’m torn on rating this. It was my first time to try. Dan Dan noodles was the target. The product seemed well prepared. I used the recipe amount. I didnt like it, but it may have been that I would have been better satisfied with a lesser amount since it was an unfamiliar taste. So, maybe it was a 5 star product. I don’t really know.
