Kohlrabi, radishes

[shootingstar]

Look...I know I can (and I do) google on some cooking magazine recipe websites on the infinite ways how one can prepare each of these veggies, but I'm just curious what you do. After all some recipes, aren't even documented anywhere, things that we might make up.

Kohlrabi brings back mixed memories for me because my parents had a whole garden 90% of it full of kohlrabi. (8 ft. x 4ft. garden) It was one the rare veggies that grew and didn't succumb to beetles munching them up and didn't seem to require too much effort beyond weeding. Obviously parents weren't gardeners at heart and couldn't direct us how to help them so that we could have grown other veggies (except for tiny patch of green onions & water spinach).

So I know how to prepare kohlrabi, by slicing it thinly and stir-frying/braising it with sliced beef or chicken flavoured with of course abit of soy sauce, onion, ginger. I'm only using my mother's recipe, again unwritten. Or we used to have it braised in meat soup stock with noodles. I ate ALOT of kohlrabit as a kid/teen. Got tired of it. But it was cheap feeding for us..

Now, dearie buys a couple of these green beets and cooks the sliced pieces gently with a white sauce. It's lovely and served over egg noodles. He learned this recipe from his mother.

As for radishes, I just wash and eat them raw. Can't be bothered to put them in salad. I know more what to do with daikon compared to red radishes.

Thoughts?
