Kinpira Gobo (braised Burdock Root)

Recipe #100670 | 35 min | 30 min prep | add private note

Honestly, I'm not sure I even expect anybody to try this, but it's one of my favorite side vegies. Gobo (burdock root) is really high in fiber and is a bit like tofu in that it takes on the flavor of whatever you happen to cook it with. Don't skip the soaking. Gobo does stain your fingers when you handle it, so you might want to use gloves if you are planning to go out after dinner. Preparation time includes soaking time for the burdock root, but not the time to peel and julienne the burdock root. It takes my mom about 3 minutes, it takes me longer.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Peel the burdock root and julienne it (matchstick size) into very thin strips.
  2. 2
    Soak the burdock matchsticks in water for 30 minutes and drain well.
  3. 3
    While the burdock is soaking, peel the carrot and julienne it into matchsticks of a similar size as the burdock root.
  4. 4
    Put vegetable oil in a frying pan and put it on high heat.
  5. 5
    Add burdock sticks and fry for a couple minutes.
  6. 6
    Add carrot sticks in the hot pan and fry for one to two minutes, moving the vegetables around constantly.
  7. 7
    Add all remaining ingredients in the pan and stir well.
  8. 8
    Remove from heat and serve!

    When I cooked this, my husband was surprised. I was able to buy the frozen burdock and carrot 'matchsticks' at the Japanese market, then I quickly stir fried then added the season mix. Easy and tasty!

    This will be my contribution to our New Year's gathering. I decided to test your recipe and it tastes just like the okazu I normally go to in town. Now I can eat it anytime I have a craving for it. Thanks!

    Yum. We have made this many times and for some reason I keep neglecting to review it. I love the dark, earthy flavor of burdock, and like Nose, I don't peel it. I feel that it gives it better flavor and that's where most of the nutrients are anyhow. The soaking tip is a very good one. We've also made this a couple of times with chicken, pork or tofu added to make it a main dish. Yummy!
