I usually flavour kimpira with dark soy sauce for a salty-sweet taste, but I wanted to eat a lighter kimpira this time.

The saltiness of umeboshi varies wildly so check the taste and adjust the amount as necessary. Recipe by Raby

Steps

1

Peel the lotus root and slice thinly as possible. Wash in plenty of water and soak for 15 minutes in a bowl of water with a little vinegar (not listed).
2

Pit the umeboshi and pound the flesh into a paste. When the lotus root has soaked for 15 minutes, drain well.
3

Add the vegetable oil and lotus roots to a pan and cook on a high heat. Cook until the lotus root starts to brown.
4

Add the umeboshi, baby sardines, dashi stock, mirin and light soy sauce into the same pan and simmer.
5

When the liquid from the mixture has mostly evapourated, stop the heat, add the sesame seeds and give everything a good stir to finish.
