Sweet and Savory Burdock Root and Sweet Potato Stir-Fry

I had an excess stock of burdock root and sweet potatoes.

Precooking in the microwave makes this a quick-prep dish. (But be careful not to over cook, or the sweet potatoes will break apart!)
Potato starch is used to thicken the sauce, so it coats the veggies nicely!
For those who can take spicy, try cooking the red chili pepper with half of the seeds! It's delicious. Recipe by Norimakitamago
