Recipe type: Side
Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 2 bunches of hakurei turnips with green leafy tops
  • 1 Tbsp peanut oil
  • ⅓ cup gluten-free low sodium soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup mirin
  • Kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Wash turnips and greens well. Cut off tops and chop greens roughly.
  2. Leave very small bite-sized turnips whole and cut larger ones in half or quarters so they’re all a uniform size.
  3. Put turnips in a large skillet with water covering the turnips halfway.
  4. Add the oil, soy sauce, mirin and a pinch of salt.
  5. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered stirring occasionally about 15-18 minutes until turnips are tender and sauce is reduced to just about ⅛ inch high in the pan.
  6. Add the greens and cook stirring another 2-3 minutes until just wilted.
Notes
If your hakurei turnips come with no tops which does happen sometimes then some kale can be substituted for the greens.
