• 1 large daikon radish, julienned with a vegetable peeler
• 2 carrots, julienned with a vegetable peeler
• fried eggs for serving (leave out for a vegan option)

Ginger Miso Sauce

• 1 Tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Add the bok choy greens and cook until the greens are tender and slightly wilted. Remove from heat.
