• Chili bean paste is a spicy, fermented soybean paste. **Star anise-**a star-shaped seedpod-is available at some supermarkets. Chinese yellow rock sugar is made from raw sugar; it is often used in Chinese sauces and teas. Despite their name, Sichuan peppercorns aren't related to regular peppercorns; the mildly hot dried berries, which resemble split peppercorns, come from the prickly ash tree. Shandong la mian are Chinese wheat noodles. Look for these ingredients at specialty foods stores and Asian markets.

MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• Trim the leaves of the greens from the stems and discard the stems.
• Heat chorizo in the bottom of the pressure cooker with the top off until browned.
• Add beef stock to the pot, making sure to scrape sausage off the sides. Add some of the greens to the pot and mix to cover as much as possible with the chorizo/stock mixture.
• Add the remaining greens to the pot, pressing down to close the pot. This will be well past the "maximum" line, but don't worry as they will wilt significantly below the line by the time they're done.
• Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 15 minutes. Stream cold water on the lid - avoiding the vent! - to cool the pressure cooker enough to safely open.
• Drain the greens to remove excess moisture. Season with pepper, garlic salt, and hot sauce.
