step 1

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:

Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and medium dice the turnip. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Thinly slice the celery on an angle. Peel and finely chop the ginger. Cut off and discard the root end of the bok choy; roughly chop. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, soy marinade, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the gochujang as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
