This elegant vegetarian side dish celebrates the delicate flavour of Japanese turnips, often known as Tokyo or Hakurei turnips. Unlike standard varieties, these small, white roots have a mild, peppery sweetness that softens beautifully when braised. By using both the bulb and the nutritious greens, this recipe creates a vibrant, zero-waste dish that balances the earthy tones of the vegetables with a rich, savoury glaze.

Simmering the turnips in a mixture of mirin and water ensures they become perfectly tender while retaining their shape. The final addition of miso-infused butter adds a luxurious depth and a salty, umami finish. Serve these glazed turnips alongside steamed rice or roasted proteins for a healthy, sophisticated accompaniment that brings a taste of Japanese home cooking to your table.

Ingredients for Japanese Turnips with Miso

3 cucharadas de miso blanco
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
1.4kg small (1 1/2-to 2-inch) Japanese turnips with greens
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)

How to make Japanese Turnips with Miso

Stir together miso and 2 tablespoons butter.

Discard turnip stems and coarsely chop leaves. Halve turnips (leave whole if tiny) and put in a 12-inch heavy skillet along with water, mirin, remaining tablespoon butter, and 1/8 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then boil, covered, 10 minutes.

Add greens by handfuls, turning and stirring with tongs and adding more as volume in skillet reduces. Cover and cook 1 minute. Uncover and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until turnips are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Stir in miso butter and cook 1 minute.
