Mizuna (Japanese Mustard Green) Chicken pasta

Pasta with stir fried chicken and mizuna on top.

Mizuna is one of the most useful green vegetables. It has less flavor than other green leaves such as spinach, green onions and kale and is not hard as chinese bok choy and chinese cabbage. I love Mizuna’s texture. It’s very crunchy and juicy, so this vegetable is good for any kinds of cookings. This time, let’s make Mizuna chicken pasta with Japanese flavor!
