USES & COOKING SUGGESTIONS

1 leek, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
2 cups snow peas
2 rounded Tbsp ginger, minced
2 Tbsp peanut oil
Salt

Sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp mirin (sweetened sake)
1 tsp sambal oelek
1 tsp sesame oil

PREPARATION
Komatsuna is more tender than other brassica greens, but benefits from blanching or par boiling, depending on desired tenderness. Begin by bringing a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add komatsuna, and par boil for about 3 minutes. Immediately drain and spin dry in a salad spinner.

Meanwhile, heat peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add leeks and snow peas and sauté until leeks are softened. Add ginger and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
