Instructions

  1. 1

    Scrape burdock skin with the back of a knife and julienne into 5 cm strips.

  2. 2

    Soak in vinegar water for 10 minutes to prevent browning.

  3. 3

    Stir-fry burdock in oil for 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add soy sauce, sugar, and water; simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add corn syrup, cook 2 more minutes for glaze, finish with sesame oil and seeds.

Tips

Burdock browns quickly; soak in vinegar water immediately after cutting.
Longer braising makes it softer; shorter keeps it crunchy. Adjust to your preference.
