Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces snow-pea shoots, halved (2 cups)
3/4 pound trimmed kohlrabi bulbs
1/3 cup Japanese-style sesame seeds (not hulled), toasted
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1 tablespoon water
Equipment:
an adjustable-blade slicer (fitted with julienne blade) or a julienne peeler; a suribachi (Japanese sesame-seed-grinding bowl) or an electric coffee/spice grinder

Steps:

  • Bring 2 quarts water to a boil with 2 teaspoons salt, then quickly blanch pea shoots until color brightens, about 10 seconds. Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry.
  • Peel kohlrabi bulbs with a small sharp knife, then cut into matchsticks with slicer. Toss together with shoots in a serving dish.
  • Finely grind sesame seeds in suribachi or grinder, then transfer to a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. (Dressing will be thick; thin slightly with additional water if desired.)
  • Serve salad drizzled with some of dressing and serve remainder on the side.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of kohlrabi, but this recipe changed my mind! The sesame dressing really brings out the flavor of the kohlrabi.

This recipe was easy to follow, but the end result was a bit disappointing. The kohlrabi was tough and the pea shoots were limp.

I had trouble finding kohlrabi at my local grocery store. I ended up using broccoli slaw instead, and it turned out great.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs.
