Ingredients
- 1 Gobo (burdock root, Sasagaki cut)
- 1 carrot (thinly cut)
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1/4 cup Dashi (or water)
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp Sake
- 1 Tbsp Mirin
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- Shichimi Togarashi (red hot pepper)
Instructions
- Cut vegetables thinly. Let the Gobo pieces soak in water as you cut to remove the Gobo's harshness. Leave for 5-10 minutes if you have time, and strain.
- Put oil in a frying pan and heat at medium high heat. Cook the Gobo for a minute or two, and add carrot and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add Dashi, soy sauce, sugar, Sake, and Mirin, and cook until the liquid is almost all gone.
- Add sesame seeds and stir. Serve with Shichimi pepper.
