I ordered some seeds and the company sent me a little newsletter! With recipes! Very simple recipes, but I like it. Click through for recipes for Peanut Rice (!) and Bitter Greens with Peanuts, credit to Kuragi Co., Ltd. in Mie Prefecture.

Bitter Greens* with Peanuts
*Specifically, 春菊 shungiku or chrysanthemum greens, but you could try spinach, mustard greens, broccoli rabe, whatever you have!
1 bunch bitter greens 20 g peanuts 1 tbsp dashi powder 2/3 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp sugar Salt to taste
(1) Wash greens thoroughly and blanch (add to a pot of salted boiling water, remove quickly, and rinse thoroughly in cold water to lose residual heat). When cool, wring out water and cut into 4 cm lengths.
(2) Chop peanuts roughly.
