Test Sichuan Tsa Tsai Mustard (Brassica juncea) Check out our other listings! Sichuan Tsa Tsai Mustard, also known as Swollen Stem Mustard or Zha Cai, is a cool weather annual native to Southeast Asia. Plant grows to about 6 to 7 inches in height and has a thick, knobby stem that swells into tuber-like bumps just below the leaves, which are smaller and narrower than other mustard varieties. The stem is the most flavorful part of plant, offering a mix of spicy, salty, sour, and slightly sweet notes. The flavor of the leaves is less intense, with a light, peppery mustard taste. The young stems and leaves can be enjoyed fresh in salads, stir-fries, or steamed, while the mature stems are most commonly pickled with salt and red chili paste to create a condiment called Zha Cai, a staple in Sichuan cuisine that is used to flavor to rice, noodles, and soups. Direct sow in early spring once the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist until germination, which should occur within 7 to 14 days. 120 days to maturity.
