SWEET AND SOUR STIR-FRIED RADISHES WITH THEIR GREENS
The bitterness of radish greens pairs wells with a sweet-and-sour sauce in this stir-fry. We always toss out radish greens, but we shouldn't. They are as nutritious as any green, and they have a pleasantly bitter flavor that is very much like that of turnip greens, which are a close relative. The bitterness works very well against a sweet and sour stir-fry sauce. The radishes should be barely cooked. This is a great dish for large, colorful breakfast radishes. The big bunches I get at my farmers' market weigh a pound, sometimes a little more. Use 2 bunches if yours are smaller.

Steps:
- Cut away greens from radishes and trim off bottoms of the stems. Wash in 2 changes of water and spin dry. Chop coarsely. Trim away tips of radishes and quarter lengthwise if large, cut in half if small.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, vinegar, agave nectar or honey, and stock or water. Have all ingredients within arm's length of your burner.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add oil to wok or pan and swirl to coat sides, then add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add white parts of scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds to a minute. Add radish greens, salt and pepper and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more, until they wilt, and stir in radishes. Stir-fry for 1/2 minute and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for a minute more, then stir in ilantro and scallion greens, stir together for a few seconds, add cornstarch slurry and stir until vegetables are glazed (less than 30 seconds). Remove from heat and serve.
