Introducing Kikunoi-style Kinpira Gobo, a recipe that's both traditional and easy enough for home cooks. Shave the burdock root into fine strips using a peeler, then quickly stir-fry with carrots and shredded dried squid over high heat. Season with a mixture of soy sauce and sugar, then finish with sesame seeds and chili flakes for a burst of flavor. This dish is a perfect accompaniment to rice, allowing you to savor the natural texture and aroma of burdock.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Burdock Root 250g
  • Carrot 50g
  • Shredded Dried Squid (or Dried Squid) 20g
  • Sesame Seeds for garnish (to taste)

Seasonings

  • [A] Dark Soy Sauce 20cc
  • [A] Sugar 15g
  • Sesame Oil 30cc
  • Sesame Seeds 5g
  • Ichimi Togarashi (Chili Flakes) (to taste)

Steps

  1. Wash the burdock root to remove any dirt, then julienne it using a peeler or knife. Be careful not to cut it too thin or too thick; it's best to shave it like sharpening a pencil. Briefly soak in water to remove bitterness.
  2. Cut the carrot into approximately 3cm lengths, then slice thinly and julienne.
  3. Combine dark soy sauce (20cc) and sugar (15g) in a bowl.
  4. Heat sesame oil (30cc) in a frying pan over high heat and stir-fry the carrot.
  5. Once the carrot has softened slightly, add the shredded dried squid (20g) and continue stir-frying over high heat.
  6. When the ingredients are coated with oil, add the burdock root (250g), drained of water, and stir-fry over high heat. To enjoy the flavor and texture of the burdock, avoid overcooking it at high heat.
  7. Once the burdock is generally tender, add the prepared seasoning mixture (dark soy sauce (20cc) and sugar (15g)) and stir-fry to combine. Using sugar instead of mirin allows it to harmonize with the moisture released from the burdock, making the flavor adhere better.
  8. Turn off the heat, add sesame seeds (5g) and ichimi togarashi (to taste), and mix well.
  9. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish (to taste).
