Today’s dinner

Turnip and carrot in tahini Miso sauce (The recipe follows below)
Brown rice porridge with wild herbs and azuki beans (by my dad)
Miso soup with shiitake mushroom and tofu
Grated daikon radish

So here comes more about the turnip dish.
I made this with whatever I could find in the kitchen. The inspiration comes from the dish a friend in Canada made out of the dumpstered turnip.
Any way it turned out great and my mom liked it a lot too so I’m going to write the recipe so any of you can try making this if you want to.
I rarely measure ingredients when I cook so the list of ingredients is kind of rough, just so you know…

INGREDIENTS:
3 turnip root
1-2 carrot
A bunch of turnip greens
2 tbs tahini
2 tbs Miso
1 tbs Mirin, or maple syrup
1 tbs grated ginger
2 tbs rapeseed oil
1 tbs sesame seed oil

DIRECTIONS:
1. Slice the turnip root and carrot and chop turnip greens.
2. Combine tahini, Miso, Mirin and ginger in a small bowl.
3. Heat oils in a pan, add turnip root and carrot, then turnip greens and fry them for about 5 min.
4. When the veggies are cooked and soft, add the tahini sauce, stir and cook for a few more min.

That’s it! Pretty simple huh? It took me only 15 min or so to make this.I like it that I can use the whole turnip (both root and leaves) in this recipe.Turnip greens are rich in vitamin C. It’s better not to waste it, isn’t it? :)

Thanks for reading! See you again!
