Mizuna and baby red bok choy

Here are some more photos of greens.
Mizuna

This red or green mizuna is a very mild Japanese mustard often found in baby salad mixes.  We grow it out and use it as a salad or braising green.  We both add it to soup often.








Baby red bok choy
Baby bok choy which also can be red or green, is often sliced lengthwise and added to stir fry or miso soup.  Miso soup is a common breakfast in Japan.  Miso is a fermented bean or grain paste that is used like we use boullion.  It is loaded with probiotics.  We never boil it to maintain the probiotics.  I stir  a spoonful into a ladle of broth and add it into the soup just before serving.
