For the New Year's Feast: Burdock Roots with Cashew Nuts
I was served a dish of burdock roots with some nuts at a soba noodle restaurant, so I tried to recreate the dish at home using nuts as the main ingredient.
Peel the burdock root if you prefer. If you soak the burdock root thoroughly to remove any bitterness, the nuts will taste really nutty and delicious! You could also add nuts at the end if not serving this immediately. Recipe by Mawaru7

Scrub the burdock roots well with a stiff brush to remove the dirt. Chop into 5 cm pieces, then slice into fourths.

Boil the burdock roots in a pan. Turn the heat to medium when the water starts to boil. I would say, cook for approx. 5 to 6 minutes.

The burdock root pickles I bought were delicious, so I made my own.After experimenting a lot, I settled on this recipe.Only cut as many of the burdock roots as you are going to eat, and leave the rest to marinate. They will continue to absorb the seasonings (if they get to the stage where you feel you don't want the flavor to get any stronger, pour off the liquid and return to the fridge).Step 3 might be a bit of a pain, but pounding the roots one by one means that they crack evenly and thus absorb the same amount of flavor when soaked.
