Step-by-Step Instructions

Thinly slice the potatoes and arrange them on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for about 5 minutes, or until very tender, then mash with a fork and season lightly with salt and pepper until smooth enough to shape.

Cut the komatsuna into 3 cm pieces, keeping the stems and leaves separate. Thinly slice the onion, tear the maitake into bite-size pieces, and cut the carrot into short thin strips. Preheat the oven to 250C/480F.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion until softened, then add the komatsuna stems and carrot and stir-fry until they begin to soften.
