Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups bonito flakes
½ cup sugar
½ cup usukuchi (light) soy sauce
¼ cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
1 Tbsp. ichimi togarashi
Zest and juice of 4 Meyer lemons or regular lemons (about ½ cup juice)
2 bunches hakurei turnips with tops
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
Kosher salt
Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Grind bonito flakes in a spice mill or blender until finely ground (you should have about 2 Tbsp.). Bring ground bonito, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and togarashi to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until reduced by a third, 12-15 minutes. Pour dressing into a small bowl; cover and chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Stir in lemon zest and juice.
  • Meanwhile, separate tops from turnips. Trim stems from leaves; discard. Coarsely chop leaves. Cut turnips into 1" wedges. Toss turnips and leaves with oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season lightly with salt (the dressing is salty). Roast, tossing halfway through, until leaves are wilted and turnips have taken on a touch of color, 12-15 minutes.
  • Transfer turnips and leaves to a platter; spoon some of the dressing over (you'll have extra). Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

This recipe is a fail. The turnips were not roasted properly and the dressing was not flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my turnips were not good. They were dry and tasteless.

I would not recommend this recipe. The turnips were bland and the dressing was too sour.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit complicated and the instructions are not very clear.

I followed the recipe exactly and the turnips turned out mushy. I think I would roast them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I didn't have any Meyer lemons, so I used regular lemons instead. The dressing was still good, but I think it would have been better with Meyer lemons.

The turnips were a little too spicy for my taste, but the dressing was delicious.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover turnips. The dressing is especially good, and it can be used on other roasted vegetables as well.

These turnips with spicy Meyer lemon dressing were a delightful surprise! The turnips were perfectly roasted, with a slightly caramelized exterior and tender interior. The dressing was a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy, and it really comple
