mm, your salad plate looks beautiful! i was lucky enough to be able to grow arugula in my little vegetable garden. i love greens so much that i also plant indian mustard and mesclun.
the young daikon leaves is especially flavorful too… just
steamed and lightly seasoned with a mixture of sugar, salt, mirin, vinegar and soy sauce. it goes well with hot japanese rice and other side dishes.

Yes, they grow them in Tagaytay and in greenhouses in Manila. Normally, they let them get too big but this one supplier picks them nice and small. They are available from Rustan’s Rockwell and at Santis stores. At Rustan’s they are about USD1.50 for a small bag that goes a long way. I love them.

Got a similar recipe minus the goat cheese but with balsamic vinegar and pepper. Actually it’s Jamie Oliver’s. Will try yours with the goatcheese next time. Glad to know that arugulas are actually available in Manila. Where do you get them?
