Culinary tips: Use in soup, salad, pickle or stir-fry. Asian turnips are mainly eaten when very young. They can be eaten raw with a dressing or added to stews and curries. The young green tops are stir-fried or used in soup. Small roots with tops are often lightly sautéed together. Both can be eaten fresh or cooked.
