About

Serve these attractive flowers as an hors d’oeuvre or as an easy garnish for sushi.

Method

Trim and peel five small turnips and place, one at a time, between a pair of hashi (chopsticks) on a cutting board. Insert a very sharp blade down into the turnip, across the hashi, and make parallel cuts until the blade touches the hashi.
Turn the turnip 90 degrees, and cut across the first series of cuts.
