Notes
Additional Notes
Hakurei turnips are similar in taste and texture to a radish. While crisp, slightly sweet, and mildly spicy, they have less of a bite and a smoother texture than radishes, especially when young and small. Hakurei can be eaten raw (just whole, or chopped/grated in salads) or cooked with their greens to enhance their natural sweetness.
Try adding a crispy fried egg on top.
