Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups warm water, or to taste
1 (4 inch) piece kombu (seaweed)
2 small baby white turnips, peeled, with leaves reserved
3 ½ tablespoons miso paste
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon sake (rice wine)
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet cooking rice wine)

Steps:

  • Combine water and kombu in a saucepan. Let stand until kombu is softened, about 20 minutes.
  • Bring water to a boil. Add turnips; simmer over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer turnips to 2 serving bowls. Place reserved leaves in the hot water; cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide leaves and cooking water between bowls. Discard kombu.
  • Combine miso paste, sugar, sake, and mirin in a small pot over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour over turnips in the bowls.
