Vegan Japanese Recipe for Daikon Radish Leaves




One of my favorite recipes for Daikon Radish Leaves is "FURIKAKE （ふりかけ）".
Furikake is a Japanese word for seasoned powder for rice.
Obviously it is not powder but we still call it furikake since we sprinkle daikon radish greens on top of rice.
It it a vegan 5 minuets recipe and it goes really well with rice.


You will need daikon radish greens, sesame oil, sesame, salt and soy source. 
If you have shoyu koji or fermented micture of soy sauce and koji rice malt it is better.
Shoyu koji is a useful seasoning to have and I will talk about it another time.

  1.  Rinse and chop daikon radish greens roughly
  2.  Fry with sesameoil with salt and shoyukoji.
  3. Sprinkle sesame and add sesame oil if you need some more.

* If you are not vegan, you can add dried young sardines.
 In that case frying the fish first and then add the leaves. 


I hope you will like the recipe :)

When I start to see nanohana at supermarkets  I feel spring has begun. 菜 (na) means eatable grass, の (no)means ~'s and 花 (hana) is flowers. So it it like vegetable's flower. As a feature for spring vegetables in Japan, usually they have bitter taste. Nanohana is not as bitter as other spring vegetables, it still has a bit of bitter taste. And it is good for detoxing. Like a plants and insects are coming out from underground, our body start to detox from inside. You might have a trouble on your skin too. If you have a trouble on your skin in spring, it is a good sign to start detoxing from inside. Try not to put medications if it is not too bad, and try to eat something that will help your body to detox. At first you might experience a time when you don't feel any progress or becoming even worse though it will eventually cleanse so don't worry too much about it. ...
