Notes
Tips + Tricks: Cutting the turnips: I like to cut the turnips in wedges. This gives a bit more surface are on the sides- perfect for browning!
Seasoned Rice Vinegar: Beyond the ingredients listed above, I like to add splash of seasoned rice vinegar. This adds just a little boost of flavor and sweetness.
Cooking the Noodles: I used leftover soba noodles I had on hand. I like to cook the noodles according to the package then drain, rinse, and toss with a teaspoon or so of sesame oil. This helps the noodles separate and mix with the ingredients well!
