My surprise was mostly that so many people weren’t using them all the time already. They’re crispy and light, and accentuate the flavour of whatever you mix them with. It’s about the most versatile vegetable we got here: stir-fry, in ramen or udon, in donburi, yakisoba, salads and so on, and there’s lots of side dishes you can make with them too. I’d use them all the time no matter what the price.
