Stir fried fuki

Yesterday the Chinese government announced that around 200 people were victims of the rains in South China. If you have never lived in rainy places, maybe it's difficult to understand how dangerous   heavy rain is. Those places are subject to flooding, landslides, high waves, rockfalls and dangerous driving conditions.

Recently in Kyusyu (the southern part of Japan) also had a record rains over 800mm in 6 days. They are in a dangerous situation now as the land has absorbed a lot of water.

Today I will cook fuki (a type of wild vegetables). This type of fuki is called 'rawan buki' which is from Hokkaido.
Ingredients;
fuki (pickled with salt)
age
sesame
sesame oil
soy sauce
mirin
sugar
salt

1- Boil fuki to desalinate. Cut the fuki and age thinly.

2- Stir fry 1 with sesame oil. When it's cooked, adjust the taste with soy sauce, sugar, mirin and salt.

3- Put some sesame and chili (if you like).
