Asian stirfry theme week! This share is filled with delicious Asian vegetables like Napa Cabbage, Tatsoi, Daikon Radish, Hakurei Turnips, and cilantro (also carrots, onion, and kohlrabi). Best stirfry tip... use arrowroot powder, it will change your stirfry experience to more YUM!! Try a simple sauce of honey, tamari, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, miso paste, and arrowroot powder; pour over the stirfry at the end and add your favortie protein. Sliced raw daikon radish and cilantro make the perfect crunchy topping.
Please note: This share has your pie pumpkin for Thanksgiving, so that you have plenty of time to bake it up and puree it before you need to make your pie ;). See sneak peak for next week's share below.
Daikon Radish is adored for its flavor, a nice sharp radish that is great sliced raw in salads. It is also considered a "Superfood" for its high nutrient and enzyme content. It is known as a blood purifier and supports good digestion. Daikon is wonderful chopped and added to miso soup, stirfry, eggrolls, or sliced with apples for a perfect snack. You can also make Chinese "Turnip cakes" which are actually made with Daikon radish (not Turnip) along with rice flour. Sometimes I put slices on my morning toast to start the day with a Zing!
This is also a great week to make Kimchee, a Korean fermented food made with Napa, Daikon, and carrot that is super yummy and medicinal and super easy to make.
