Okawakame (a kind of Madeira vine)

(8/29) I moved my Okawakame vine again and had to cut all the top growth. I harvested over 400 grams (nearly 1 pound) of leaves. Okawakame is a kind of Maderia vine. It has a sticky texture, similar to Okra. Boil the leaves for a few seconds, let cook and add Ponzu and Katsubushi (Bonito flakes) when you are ready to eat. Delicious!
