• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 bunch daikon leaves and stems (cut from 1 daikon root) 1

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil (for stir-frying)

2 tsp toasted white sesame seeds (for serving; you can also sprinkle katsuobushi, dried bonito flakes, if non-vegan)

1 Tbsp mirin

1 tsp sugar

1 Tbsp soy sauce

⅛ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt

Directions

Gather all the ingredients.

Cut off the leaves and stems from 1 daikon root. Wash well under cold running water. Then, cut 1 bunch daikon leaves and stems into small pieces.

In a medium saucepan or a large frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped daikon leaves.

Sauté until the leaves are wilted and coated with oil. Then, add 1 Tbsp mirin and 1 tsp sugar.

Add 1 Tbsp soy sauce. Taste and add ⅛ tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt if needed.

Simmer on low heat. When the sauce is almost gone, add 2 tsp toasted white sesame seeds.

When you can see the bottom of the saucepan, it’s done. Turn off the heat and transfer the furikake into a glass container. Let cool completely before storing.
