Ingredients
Scale
- 2 burdocks, 270g (200g edible portion)
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp sake
- 1 soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- Ichimi Togarashi (Japanese chili powder), optional
Instructions
- Scrape the skin of the burdock using the back of a knife. Rinse the root, then slice into match stick sized pieces. Alternatively, use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to make thin strips.
- Soak the burdock in water for 10 minutes. Change the water every time it gets cloudy (I do this around 2-3 times).
- Combine the sake, soy sauce and sugar in a bowl and mix until the sugar dissolves.
- In a large pan, heat the sesame oil over high heat and add the burdock root. Stir fry for around 3 minutes (4 minutes if the root is cut my hand).
- Add in the seasoning mix and cook until the liquid significantly reduces. Add in the sesame seeds and Japanese chili powder. Serve & enjoy!
