This is the recipe my mother came up with after a long process of trial and error to recreate her favorite pounded burdock root dish--one that she chose by taste testing at different eateries. It has since become a family favorite.

The burdock root should weigh about 230 g unrinsed with skin on, and 200 g after prepping. It's important to preserve the "bite" of the burdock root, so be careful not to over cook in Step 2. Recipe by Nanaiku
