Step-by-Step Instructions

Rinse the komatsuna well. Trim the base, then cut the stalks and leaves into 2 to 3-inch lengths. Cut the atsuage in half, then slice into 1 cm strips.

In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, soy sauce, sake, chicken stock granules, and grated ginger until the sugar dissolves.

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add half of the sesame oil. Add the komatsuna stalks first and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
