Hiroko's Fusion Choy with Tahini-Soy Sauce Dip

1 medium head komatsuna (or 2-3 heads smaller choys)

1/4 c tahini

1-3 tbsp water or lemon juice

1-2 tsp soy sauce to taste

 

Coarsely chop the komatsuna, leaving the stem portions about four inches long so that they will be a nice size for dipping. Put stems into a steamer for two minutes; then add the leaves and steam for three to four minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain, pressing lightly to remove excess water.

 

Mix the tahini, water or lemon juice, and soy sauce in a bowl. Serve, either by pouring the sauce over the komatsuna and tossing, or by letting each person dip pieces into the tahini-soy sauce. (This is the part children like.)
