Instructions

  1. 1

    Lightly scrape the burdock skin, slice on a bias, and soak in water for 5 minutes to prevent browning.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice the beef, cut radish into small flat pieces, and chop the green onion.

  3. 3

    Heat sesame oil in a pot, stir-fry beef over medium heat until lightly browned, then add burdock and radish for 2 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Add soup soy sauce and minced garlic, then pour in water; once boiling, reduce to medium-low and simmer for 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    When burdock is tender, season with salt and black pepper, then add green onion and simmer for 2 more minutes.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat, let it rest for 5 minutes, and serve warm.

Tips

Slice burdock to about 2-3 mm thickness so it softens evenly.
Use soy sauce moderately and finish seasoning with salt for a cleaner broth.
