In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the turnips and cover. Cook,
stirring occasionally until they begin to soften…About 5-8 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili paste, brown sugar, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Stir to combine
and coat the turnips. Cook for about 5 minutes without stirring to allow some browning

Once you have achieved a nice golden brown on the turnips, add the greens and cover a
