I made a healthy simmered dish.

I usually stop simmering burdock roots while they are still pretty crunchy to enjoy their texture, but if you prefer them to be softer, please add more water and continue simmering them for longer.
Keep an eye on the pan as it simmers with the lid on that it doesn't over-cook and burn. For about 3 servings. Recipe by Mokobu- mama

Steps

1

Drain the aburaage with a generous pour of hot water. Slice into matchstick-sized pieces. The burdock root should also be sliced thinly, with each piece about 4 cm long.
2

Soak the cut burdock water in water to remove the harshness, then drain.
3

Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the well drained burdock root. When it's started to wilt a little, add the aburaage, dashi stock and water, and simmer over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
4

Add the ◎ ingredients, cover with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Uncover and check the burdock root. If it's cooked to your desired degree of softness and the cooking liquid has almost gone, add the sesame seeds and mix in.
