This dish is a delight! It uses balsamic figs, dried figs soaked in balsamic vinegar, and shoyu walnuts, walnuts soaked in soy sauce, entertains with the harmony of diverse aroma, crunchy texture and freshness. Looking back, I would serve the figs, kohlrabi, fennel and walnuts with the orange juice in a small bowl so the orange juice doesn’t wander around by the greens. That way, the juice will reach further up in the bowl making the dish even fresher!
