Asian Style Turnips

 

Turnip:

4 turnips, washed, trimmed and

peeled

salt

 

Marinade:

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons rice

vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons sugar

2 small slices

fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, minced

3 scallions, cut into 1-inch

lengths

1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes

 

Garnish:

1 tablespoon chopped chives

2

teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

 

Slice the turnips into slices about 1/8 of an inch

thick and place them on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the slices with salt and allow

them to stand for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, rinse and drain the slices and set

them aside.

In a saucepan combine the marinade ingredients and bring the

mixture to a boil. Add the turnips and toss them with the marinade. Continue

cooking until the liquid comes to a boil.

Allow the turnips and the liquid to

cool, then transfer the slices and mariade to a glass jar. Cover the jar and

refrigerate up to 12 hours, shaking the jar occasionally, to allow the flavors

to blend.

Serve garnished with chives and sesame

seeds.
