It might be a country-style way of using satsuma-age? Instead of satsuma-age, you can use abura-age (thin fried tofu), with the oil removed, or atsu-age (thick fried tofu).

To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook simmered komatsuna greens and satsuma-age using 6 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Simmered Komatsuna Greens and Satsuma-Age:
  1. Take 1 bunch Komatsuna
  2. Make ready 2 to 3 pieces Satsuma-age
  3. Take 400 ml Dashi stock
  4. Take 1 tbsp Sake
  5. Make ready 2 tbsp Usukuchi soy sauce
  6. Make ready 2 tbsp Mirin

The leaves become a deeper green color as the plant ages and its delicate stems grow wide, coarse and pale in color. In its young state, Komatsuna is tender and delicate with a sweet flavor and mild mustard bite. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the greens stem-end first, gradually.

Steps to make Simmered Komatsuna Greens and Satsuma-Age:
  1. Cut the komatsuna into suitable sizes. Slice the satsuma-age into 1cm thick. (If you're using mizuna, slice it thinner.)
  2. Boil dashi stock in a pot and add all of the seasonings. Add satsuma-age and simmer quickly so it gives off its flavour.
  3. Add the stems of komatsuna, then when they've softened, add the leaves. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely to make sure it doesn't overcook, and serve.
  4. If you use mizuna leaves, it's tasty to slice the satsuma-age even more thinly than usual.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the greens stem-end first, gradually. For variations, you can also try it with Atsuage (thick fried tofu) or Chikuwa (fish cake with a hole in the middle), or Satsuma Age (fried fish cake, sometimes mixed with seafood or vegetables). In this recipe, I use Komatsuna, Japanese mustard spinach, which you can find in Japanese grocery stores or local farmers market. Komatsuna is rich in calcium and has a mild flavor so it doesn't require pre-boiling.
