About the Recipe

The humble turnip is one of the very best sources of vitamins and minerals you could think of. I shan't go into the details here but suffice to say that you really should include turnip as one of you "5 a day" vegetables. This turnip uses turnip liced very thin and then marinated to make a crunchy, tangy fibre rich dish.

Ingredients

1 turnip (approx. 250g)


60g choysum


1 slice ginger


1/2 tsp salt


for the marinade:


1 tsp lemon juice


2 tbsp rice vinegar


1 tbsp sugar


1 tsp toasted white sesame seeds

Preparation

peel, the turnip. cut it in half and slice as thinly as possible (you can also use a slicer, if you have one)


rinse the choysum and cut into 2cm lengths


finely slice the ginger


put the turnip, choi sum & ginger in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt, mix well and leave to stand for 15 mins


to make the marinade:


mix the lemon juice, vinegar & sugar well in a bowl


now return to your turnip and choi sum. grip all the vegetable in the bowl in your hand and squeeze out any excess liquid. repeat 2 or 3 times, draining any liquid and add the marinade, stirring well
