About this dish
Most of burdock's aroma is near the skin, so it is scrubbed clean with a brush rather than peeled.

A dried red chili in the pan leaves a little heat trailing behind the sweet soy flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Scrub 70g burdock so its flavorful skin remains, then cut into thin 5cm strips.
Soak in 500ml water for 5 minutes and drain. Cut 30g carrot into matching 5cm strips and remove the seeds from 0.5 dried red chili.

Combine 50ml seasoning water, 1.5 teaspoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon sake in a small bowl.
Stir for 30 seconds, until almost no sugar grains remain visible.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil and the seeded chili in a pan over high heat for 30 seconds.
Add the burdock and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the carrot and cook for 1 minute, until both vegetables are evenly coated with oil.

Pour in the seasoning, lower to medium heat, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring.
Turn off the heat when almost no liquid remains on the bottom and the burdock still has a firm bite. Rest for 5 minutes, then crush 1 teaspoon toasted white sesame between the fingers over the dish.
