Recipe:
Notes
Mochi is generally found by the tofu, miso, and tempeh. Can’t find mochi? Serve the sesame-glazed vegetables atop a bed of quinoa.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon neutral oil, such as canola or grape seed
1 leek, thinly sliced and cleaned
12 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon liquid aminos, such as Bragg’s
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup grated daikon
1 tablespoon mirin
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 large bunch kale, sliced into ribbons
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
12-1/2 ounce package garlic, onion, or seeded mochi, cut into 12 squares
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. Add olive oil to a large skillet set over medium heat. Sauté leek in olive oil until soft and translucent (about 3 minutes). Add shiitake mushrooms and continue cooking. Add liquid aminos to deglaze pan. Continue sautéing until mushrooms caramelize (8-10 minutes total). Add carrots, daikon, mirin, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil, and sauté until carrots are soft (4-5 minutes). Add kale and sauté 4 minutes, or until tender and wilted. Remove from heat and toss with sesame seeds. Season to taste with additional soy sauce and vinegar.
3. Place mochi squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until they puff up (follow directions on packaging). Remove from oven, slice open each puff horizontally, stuff with sautéed greens and serve.
Yield: Makes 12 squares; serves 2 to 3 as a main course.
