Wash the mustard greens thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
Blanch the mustard greens in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath to retain their crisp texture.
In a saucepan, combine the water, salt, sugar, and vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Place the blanched mustard greens into a clean glass jar, layering them with garlic, red chili flakes, sliced ginger, and black peppercorns.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the mustard greens, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 48 hours before consuming.
The pickled mustard greens will develop a deeper flavor over time and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
