I think this is a common way for everyone to enjoy it. I love this way of eating it! The slight spiciness of the komatsuna and the sweetness of the garlic go well together. The origin of this recipe: I've loved eating komatsuna this way since long ago. I think it brings out the best flavor of komatsuna.
