Tataki Gobo - Pounded Burdock Root With Sesame Sauce

I often make this when I have burdock root left over from another dish... it's rather hard to use up a whole burdock root! But then I started to buy burdock root just to make this sesame-sauce dish. (This is a secret, but I do it the lazy way by using store-bought ponzu sauce, sugar, and ground white sesame seeds. Use a 1:1:2 ratio of ponzu sauce, sugar and ground sesame! It's a bit salty, but...)
As I wrote in Step 1, this tastes best when there's an equal amount of ground sesame seeds vs. the ★ ingredients. Depending on the season, adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to taste!
Start using burdock root from the thin end, and bash it, cut it, split it and throw them into the sesame-vinegar sauce. Recipe by Pikarindou honpo

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the sesame-vinegar sauce. I think this tastes best if the ratio of ground sesame seeds and the ★ flavoring ingredients (soy sauce, sugar, vinegar) combined is the same. Please do any fine-adjusting to your taste.
- 2
Wash the burdock root, scrape off the peel and cut into 10 to 15 cm lengths (so that they'll fit in the pan). Fill the pan with water and bring to a boil, add a little vinegar (not listed in the ingredients) and boil the burdock root.
- 3
Boil until it's still crunchy (about 5 to 6 minutes). Pound the burdock root with a rolling pin or similar lightly to crush the fibers.
- 4
Cut the burdock root into 5-6 cm pieces that are easy to eat, and shred with your hands. (Use your hands, don't cut with a knife.)
- 5
Put the burdock root in the sauce from Step 1 while it's still warm.
- 6
Let it cool down completely and store in the refrigerator. It will keep for 4 to 5 days with no problem. Make a ton of it and use as a "chopstick rest" side dish with a difference! Or serve as a snack with tea! Great in bentos, or just for snacking on, too.
- 7
Since it keeps well, it's great for osechi (New Year's feast food) and bentos! The sesame-vinegar sauce can be used on asparagus or spinach, and it's absolutely delicious on mochi rice cakes! Please give it a try!

I tried the sesame sauce on microwave-cooked kabocha squash . Hehe...delicious!

Taro Root "Hittsumi" Gnocchi with Sesame Sauce Taro Root "Hittsumi" Gnocchi with Sesame Sauce
Wild sesame is very similar to black sesame seeds used in sweets. Since the flavor is so good, I use it in place of regular sesame seeds when cooking. It also supposedly contains neutral fats and helps lower cholesterol, so eating it will apparently help you live 10 years longer. Plus, I can use it often to make local dishes from my hometown, which is why it's one of my favorite ingredients.-Boil the gnocchi over medium heat to create a plump and delicious texture straight through to the centers.-Roast the wild sesame in a frying pan over low heat until they begin to pop. Grinding the seeds with a mortar and pestle enhances their flavor. Recipe by *chifon* cookpad.japan -
Satoimo (Taro Root) and Pork Stir-Fry with Oyster, Mayonnaise and Sesame Sauce Satoimo (Taro Root) and Pork Stir-Fry with Oyster, Mayonnaise and Sesame Sauce
I wanted to serve the satoimo I like so much to my family using flavorings that were slightly different than usual.- You may get away with not using any oil in the frying pan, because of the fat in the pork. (especially if you use a non-stick pan)- The viscous substance covering the satoimo is supposed to help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, and even for helps to prevent senility by stimulating the brain, so don't wash too much of it off.- You can make the recipe more healthy by wiping off excess fat before adding the flavorings.

Enjoy plenty of this additive-free sauce. Homemade sesame sauce is the best for shabu-shabu.

I checked the ingredients of a major brand and made this version without additives. Where the original listed 'fermented seasoning,' I used miso instead.(In May 2014, I reduced the sugar a bit.) きちりーもんじゃTranslated from Cookpad Japan -
