For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon bits with smoked paprika or a dash of liquid smoke to achieve a similar smoky flavor. Adjust the amount of fish sauce to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. Ensure the mustard greens are thoroughly washed to remove any grit or sand. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
