A simple and classic Japanese dish usually made in autumn when gobo root is in season. The red chili gives it a nice kick! Goes great with over white or brown rice.

Steps

15 mins

1

Scrub or peel the burdock root, cut into matchsticks and soak in water. Rinse until water runs clear. Cut carrots into matchsticks as well.
2

Measure out the sugar, mirin and soy sauce.
3

Heat sesame oil in a pan and saute burdock, carrot and red chili on medium heat until carrot is soft. Burdock root will remain a bit harder, but make sure it's not too tough!
4

Add in sugar and mirin first. Mix well for a minute or two, then add in soy sauce. Stir fry until soy sauce begins to caramelize and gives off a nice smell.
5

Stop heat and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy! Goes good with rice and keeps well for leftovers and lunches!
