Mizuna is a great Asian green. Taste-wise it's so mild it's barely there, but it makes a nice addition to salads. I don't bother stir-frying with it because it doesn't add a lot of flavor. It's an amazing little plant though. One sowing usually takes me from early spring through frost. It's one of the first greens to be harvestable in spring, and you can keep cutting and it just keeps coming back. Great space-saver for a small garden. Forms a small fountain of feathery leaves.
