Instructions

To make sautéed radishes and mixed vegetables, begin by preheating a pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil, and when the oil begins to smoke slightly, the pan is ready to begin stir frying.

While the pan preheats, wash and prepare the vegetables.

Radishes – slice about 0.75 cm thick.

Onions – chop/dice so pieces are about the same size as radish slices.

Garlic – crush or mince finely.

Bok choy – slice/shred the leaves and stems.

Spinach – chop the same as the bok choy.

Radish tops – chop these leaves like the bok choy and spinach.

Tomatoes – dice into large cubes (about 3cm x 3cm).

Add the radishes and onions to the hot frying pan. Stir frequently (every 30 seconds or more), cooking all sides, until the radishes and onions become translucent and start to brown.

Next, add garlic, and stir for about 30 seconds.

Add bok choy, spinach, and radish greens. Add a small amount of water to create steam and keep the vegetables from sticking to the bottom of the pan, and cover with a lid to steam the leafy green vegetables. Steam for 1-2 minutes, then uncover, turn off the heat, and stir to mix the vegetables thoroughly.

Sautéed radishes and mixed vegetables stir fry has a nice, mild garlic flavour as is, or you can add seasonings to taste.  Soy sauce and lime juice provide a nice flavour. Balsamic vinegar is also very good.
