Ingredients

  • 1-2 Purple Daikon, sliced thin (250 grams/ ½ lb)
  • Komatsuna, roughly chopped (200 grams)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

Prepare the miso glaze

  • In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.

Cook the diakon

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or a little sesame oil to prevent sticking. Add the sliced daikon and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the daikon starts to soften.

Add garlic and komatsuna

  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for and additional 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the roughly chopped komatsuna and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the greens are wilted

Add the miso glaze

  • Pour the miso glaze over the daikon and komatsuna. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is nicely glazed and the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish and serve

  • Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the stir-fry. Serve hot as a main dish over rice or noodles for a complete meal

Notes

Prep tip: Slice daikon thin and evenly with a mandoline. 
Variations: Any greens of your choice could be used - example - baby spinach, bok choy, mizuna, kale, chard. 
To toast sesame seeds: in a small skillet add the sesame seeds and heat to medium for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally or until seeds begin to brown lightly. If browning too quickly turn down heat.
