  1. 1

    Soak the brown rice for about 1 hour and the short-grain rice for about 30 minutes, then combine them.

  2. 2

    Separate the stems and leaves of the crown daisy and wild chives, and cut them into 1 cm lengths.

  3. 3

    Place the stem portions of the crown daisy and wild chives in a pot with the soaked rice, add the appropriate amount of water for cooking rice, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Reduce to low heat and let the rice finish steaming.

  5. 5

    Finely blend all the tofu sauce ingredients except the kelp broth in a blender. Transfer to a pan, add the kelp broth and the reserved leafy portions of the greens, and bring to a boil to make the tofu sauce.

  6. 6

    Serve the spring greens rice with the tofu sauce.

Ingredient substitutions

Brown rice
White short-grain rice cooks softer and has less nutty flavor.
Rice
Medium-grain rice works well. Long-grain rice is usable but gives a drier, looser texture.
Gochujang
Combine miso, gochugaru, and a little sweetener for a functional substitute. It will not reproduce the same fermented flavor.
Doenjang
Red or awase miso is the closest common substitute, but it is usually sweeter and less pungent.
Kelp
Use a vegetable or anchovy broth when kelp is unavailable.
