Pickled Mustard Greens, also known as Vietnamese Kimchi, are a traditional side dish and condiment in Vietnamese cuisine. The greens are packed with flavor and are slightly sour, salty, and spicy. They are usually served alongside meat or fish dishes or used as a condiment for sandwiches or noodles. Pickling the mustard greens helps to enhance their flavor and texture and preserves them for longer periods.

2.	In a large bowl, mix together the water, salt, and sugar until the salt is dissolved.
3.	Add in the mustard greens and scallions, making sure they are fully submerged in the water mixture.
4.	Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 4-6 hours.
5.	After 4-6 hours, drain the water and rinse the mustard greens and scallions with cold water.
6.	Squeeze out any excess water and transfer to a clean container.
7.	Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week and serve as a side dish or condiment.
