I had an excess stock of burdock root and sweet potatoes.Precooking in the microwave makes this a quick-prep dish. (But be careful not to over cook, or the sweet potatoes will break apart!)Potato starch is used to thicken the sauce, so it coats the veggies nicely!For those who can take spicy, try cooking the red chili pepper with half of the seeds! It's delicious. Recipe by Norimakitamago

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

I couldn't forget the sweet and salty side dish that I ate in a department store food hall. I tried recreating it using honey.I didn't peel the burdock roots, and soaked them in water for a short time to keep in their nutrition. Recipe by Pii chef

It's important to eat a lot of fiber-rich foods in order to maintain a happy digestive system. I combined such ingredients here.If you cook it for too long after adding the cream, the sauce will split. Use the residual heat from the pasta when mixing. If you use less penne and more of the other ingredients, it's more effective in dealing with digestive issues. You can use linguine or fettuccine instead of penne. Recipe by koumedesu

Since my father has a light case of diabetes, I often buy artichokes since they help his lower blood sugar levels. Since he likes sweet and savory burdock root, I made a similar dish with artichokes. I love the crispy, crunchy texture.It's best to fry them until crispy. Recipe by Lalanyan

I wanted 1 more dish for the table! So I made this with whatever I had in the refrigerator.There's no need to drain the water from the tofu.If you mix the sauce with the tofu while shaking the frying pan, the sauce will coat the tofu evenly. Recipe by watyami

I love sweet and sour sauce.Make your own variation depending on what the veggies in your fridge have to say!The recipe says to thinly slice the lotus root, but they're also good as thick slices.The photo shows them chopped into thicker slices. Recipe by nani cafe

I love burdock. I use it to make simple furikake rice sprinkles. You can eat a lot of rice because it is salty and sweet! You can put it in something, put it in egg rolls or you can use it for many things. Try this nutritious and delicious furikake rice sprinkles recipe!There's no need to remove the harshness from the burdock. The black water from the burdock when you keep it in water is rich in polyphenol. It is easy to arrange if you mince the burdock and it is easier for kids to eat. The point is to mince it to a size that still enables you to enjoy the texture. Add some sesame oil when it's done! Recipe by Toiroiro
