  • ¼ teaspoon dashi granules or dried tuna flakes (bonito or katsuobushi)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare rice according to your usual method. Before cooking, add the dashi granules or tuna flakes and 1 tablespoon sake.
    Blanch the turnip greens. Squeeze them well to remove the excess water, then chop the greens. In a pan, cook the greens with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sake until tender, and then add the salt. Cook until all of the liquid is evaporated. Mix the greens with the rice before serving.
