Macrobiotic: Burdock Root Simmered with Umeboshi
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
This is a staple of macrobiotic cooking. It's also a great dish to have if you're looking to detox your body. You can use whole umeboshi, but I just use the pits leftover after using the umeboshi in other dishes.
The flavor of this dish will change according to the salt content of the umeboshi. Use good quality ingredients. If it isn't salty enough, use a little of soy sauce. Try using the umeboshi pits leftover after making rice balls. Don't clean the pits, they should have some of the umeboshi still attached. Simmer the burdock root for at least 2 hours. Make sure to check the pot occasionally to make sure there is not too much evaporation. Don't let it burn! Recipe by Ruruko.

- 1
Rinse and remove the soil from the outside of the burdock root using a scrub brush or other tool. Do not remove the peel as keeping it will add a pleasant aroma to the dish.
- 2
Decide on the pot you will use, and cut the burdock root to a size that will easily fit in the pot. Add the burdock, umeboshi pit, kombu, and enough water to cover the ingredients into the pot.
- 3
If possible, use an otoshibuta (drop lid), otherwise just use a regular lid for the pot.
- 4
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the burdock softens. Check the burdock occasionally through this process. Try to simmer off as much of the liquid as possible.
- 5
I modified the amount of burdock as I found the kind I was buying at the organic supermarket was much smaller than the usual variety.
- 6
It is very important to make sure the liquid has been cooked off. If the umeboshi don't have much salt, the dish will be a bit bland, so make sure to add enough pits.
- 7
Ah, I really did it. I burned the burdock roots black. Nothing to do now but to peel them before eating.

This is a staple macrobiotic recipe. Our family's version is easy to make.It helps to keep your intestines in shape. It's very effective against constipation, hemorrhoid and hernia.Make sure not to over-soak the hijiki! Squeeze it out tightly after soaking and the flavoring ingredients will penetrate it well. The soaking water may have some grit in it, so don't use the water at the bottom of the bowl. Adding aburaage is also tasty. Recipe by Piyonofu

Simmered Burdock Root with Sesame Seeds
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.

Macrobiotic ＾＾ Fried Lotus Root Seaweed
I'd found a recipe from somewhere way back when for fried lotus root seaweed. Since I started a macrobiotic diet, I substituted the egg with nagaimo. It made them more chewy. ＾＾Place them with the nori facing down, as if you're gently sliding them in. Fry until golden brown. Use whatever sauce you like. Recipe by Jinbaro
Macrobiotic Umesho Bancha Paste
This is a standard macrobiotic recipe. They also sell umesho-bancha paste at natural food shops, but it's easy for those who make their own umeboshi. For soy sauce, I recommend using traditionally manufactured pure soy sauce, which have live enzymes, and not popular brand name ones.When drinking the umesho-bancha tea on an empty stomach, drink it before your meal (more than 30 minutes before). Recipe by Ruruko

Chunky Taro Root, Burdock Root, and Pork Japanese-Style Curry
I figured I would make a curry flavored niku jaga with pork, taro potatoes, and shimeji mushrooms etc., but I changed my mind, and made Japanese-style curry . This is superb if you eat it while breaking apart large taro potatoes. I am really happy with how thus turned out.Using konbu seaweed broth works really well for the soup stock. The burdock root also produced a nice aroma for the broth . Burdock root+taro potatoes+shimeji mushrooms+pork etc. is a good combination, and are indispensable ingredients. For 9 servings. Recipe by Okaraseijin

Macrobiotic: Anko (Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste)
I wanted to eat macrobiotic sweets.The raisins blend in easier with the adzuki if you mince them. Be sure to add salt, as it will help bring out the sweetness of the beans.Adding dried persimmons takes away the acidity for a more natural flavor; but since dried persimmons aren't always available, raisins may be best.

I made this recipe because I didn't want to waste leftover kombu used to make dashi stock.Keeps in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Recipe by Chokorabu
Macrobiotic: Simmered Sweet Potato & Apple
Apple simmered in salt is a macrobiotic recipe, but adding sweet potato makes it taste like sweet chestnut paste. If you have time, simmering the apple well makes it soft right down to the core. The core is basically just a ball of energy.It's simply a salt simmer, but you'll be surprised by it's sweetness. When simmering the apple, if you use too much water it'll take a long time so be moderate with the amount. If it doesn't seem like enough, add a little at a time. If you don't have any Jonathan apples, Fuji apples are okay, but it may be a bit lacking in acidity so add a bit of lemon. It's plenty delicious as-is, but you can also use it as pie filling or serve it on top of crackers. ❤ Recipe by Ruruko
Burdock Roots Wrapped in Kombu

Macrobiotic Kimpira-style Quick Stir-fry with Konnyaku and Burdock Roots
I revised a recipe I saw in a macrobiotic cook book.If you vary the vegetables, you can create a new dish.For preparation, rub the konnyaku with coarse salt and blanch quickly. This reduces the bitterness of the konnyaku and helps it to absorb the seasonings better. Recipe by Yuuno17
Macrobiotic-Style Vegetable Miso
This is a recipe from a book called "Delicious Recipes for a Macrobiotic Diet, Good for your Body" from Shufunotomo Co.,Ltd. That recipe used wheat miso for half of the miso content. We only have soy miso, so I just used soy miso. I added a bit of beet sugar to reduce the saltiness. The burdock root and walnuts bring out a nice flavor. This is pretty good regardless of being macrobiotic, perhaps?The basics of macrobiotic cooking are to keep the peels and scum of vegetables. You can wash the dirt off the burdock root but don't peel it. It's convenient to use a blender for the mincing. This is enough to last for one week in the refrigerator, 1 tablespoon for 1 adult serving (I divide it up and freeze it). Recipe by Yukiline
Macrobiotic Fried Kurumabu
This is a macrobiotic recipe that I learned a long time ago in cooking class. I heard from a lot of people who work in restaurants that this is pretty good, so I uploaded it!In Step 3, when you take the kurumabu out of the seasoning, do not dry it off because you went through all the effort of soaking it.If you use chopped ginger and garlic, it's even easier to make!As for the amount of soy sauce, adjust to suit your tastes as necessary.If you use half a grated onion, it takes on a different flavor. Recipe by himadek
Simmered Bamboo Shoot & Fuki Topped with Umeboshi
I had an odd amount of bamboo and fuki left over, so I tried making this together with the umeboshi in the fridge. It's a light taste for warm spring days.Don't let it boil too strongly. Cook on medium to low heat. If it boils too much, the fuki will be discolored. Use light-colored soy sauce. I modified the amounts a bit. Recipe by Akkonee
Simmered Beef (Shigure-ni) with Burdock Root
To write down a refrigerator stock item I always makeI used shredded beef with quite a lot of fat for the version in the photo, but if you make it with lean beef the flavor will be lighter.Shred the burdock root rather finely so that the flavors penetrate it easier.If you don't include burdock root, increase the beef to 300 g to use the same amount of seasoning ingredients. Just grease the pan with a little oil at Step 2. For 3 servings. Recipe by cafe-cafe
Simmered Beef and Burdock Root with Konnyaku
I wanted to make a healthy and filling meal for my children.When cutting the konnyaku, the flavors will soak better if you use a serrated steak knife. Since it will not taste good unless the sweet flavor seeps in, add the ingredients after adding in the ingredients (add the chili peppers last to preserve the color). Recipe by Norimakitamago
Macrobiotic Tofu, Kabayaki Eel-style
In an effort to cook a macrobiotic dish for myself while cooking for my family at the same time, I created this dish while making teriyaki horse mackerel with a paste made from umeboshi and shiso leaves... I was very satisfied.As you don't fry the nori seaweed with the tofu, you can taste the gentle and distinctive flavour more. It also imitates the eel's skin better. Be sure to serve it with sansho powder! (At least that's how I like it. ) The sansho adds a more authentic kabayaki taste. Recipe by moriam

Japanese-Style Burdock Root Salad
I love burdock root (gobo) salad. I've been making this for ages since it's a firm family favorite. It's great to pack in lunchboxes too!Pay attention when you're adding the seasoning ingredients at Step 5. Also be sure to dry the vegetables well in the prior step, or the salad will be watery. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Donpintan
Sweet and Salty Simmered Beef and Burdock Root
I think every household has their own way to make 'Stir Fried and Simmered Beef and Burdock Root', but this is my method.If you stir fry the burdock root in the same frying pan you stir fried the beef in, the burdock root will not be properly coated by oil. Even if it's a bother, stir fry it in a separate pan for better, richer flavor. If you do stir fry the beef and burdock root together the flavor will be lighter. Please use whichever method you prefer. The meat stays tender even if you reheat this in the microwave. For 4 servings. Recipe by Asamato
