"All three dishes were really good. Like, REALLY GOOD," raves Natalie about her Blue Apron subscription. "They were creative, flavorful, and light. I love not feeling like I need a nap after I eat."

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp - 3 Tbsp heat-safe cooking oil
- 6 chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup jasmine rice
- 4 oz shiitake mushrooms
- 6 oz turnips
- 2 scallions
- 1 1-inch piece of ginger
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp ponzu sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp yuzu kosho
- 1 tsp togarashi-sesame spice blend
- salt, as needed
- pepper, as needed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place the drumsticks on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Top with all but a pinch of the togarashi-sesame spice blend and season with salt and pepper; toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange the seasoned chicken drumsticks in a single, even layer and roast for 30-32 minutes, or until browned and cooked through (juices should run clear).
- While the chicken roasts, remove and discard the stems of the mushrooms; thinly slice the caps. Trim off and discard the roots of the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Peel the turnips; cut them lengthwise into wedges. Peel and mince the ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together the mirin, ponzu sauce, sesame oil, and as much of the yuzu koshu as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish.
- While the chicken continues to roast, in a small pot, heat 2 teaspoons of oil on medium until hot. Add half the ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the rice and 1 cup of water; bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer 14-16 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and fluff the finished rice with a fork.
- While the chicken roasts and the rice cooks, in a medium pan (preferably nonstick), heat 2 teaspoons of oil on high until hot. Add the mushrooms and turnips and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally 8-10 minutes, or until browned. Add the remaining ginger and white parts of the scallions; cook 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Tranfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Wipe out the pan.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of the yuzu kosho mixure to the bowl of cooked mushrooms and turnips. Add the cooked rice and toss to thoroughly coat; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the same pan used to cook the mushrooms and turnips on medium-high until hot. Add the roasted drumsticks and remaining yuzu kosho mixture; toss to coat. Cook, tossing occasionally, 1-2 minutes, or until the drumsticks are completely coated. Divide the chicken and mushroom-turnip-rice salad between two dishes. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and remaining togarashi-sesame spice blend. Enjoy!
