- tablespoons white miso
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
- 3 pounds small (1 1/2-to 2-inch) Japanese turnips with greens
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
Stir together miso and 2 tablespoon butter.
Discard turnip stems and coarsely chop leaves. Halve  turnips (leave whole if tiny) and put in a 12-inch heavy skillet along  with water, mirin, remaining tablespoon butter, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then  boil, covered, 10 minutes.
Add greens by handfuls, turning and stirring with tongs  and adding more as volume in skillet reduces. Cover and cook 1 minute.  Uncover and continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until turnips are  tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Stir in miso  butter and cook  1 minute.
