Fukinoto Miso

I'm not sure if you can get fukinoto (a.k.a. butterbur sprouts) outside of Japan/Asia, but if you do find some, this is a classic Japanese recipe for fukinoto that's easy to make. In Japan, it's usually eaten with steamed rice or rice balls (onigiri).

Fukinoto is a wild plant that pops up in the spring in the mountains and fields and people go out and pick them for cooking. Another popular way to cook this plant is tempura!

20 min
  1. 1

    Wash up the fukinoto and cut off any bad parts like brown leaves or brown parts of the stem.

  2. 2

    Mix the miso paste and mirin together in a small bowl.

  3. 3

    Preheat a small frying pan. Chop/dice the fukinoto while the pan is heating (it's important to wait until the last minute to chop them, because they quickly turn brown).

  4. 4

    Add oil to the pan, swish it around, then add the chopped fukinoto. Saute for 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the miso-mirin mix and stir into the fukinoto while continuing to sauté. Cook for another 2 minutes or so until most of the excess moisture has evaporated.

  6. 6

    Taste and add a bit off sugar to your liking.

  7. 7

    Put in a jar or Tupperware, let cool, and store in the fridge. You can also freeze this.

  8. 8

    Enjoy a little bit at a time with steamed rice or with rice balls.
