    How to Prepare Kinpira Gobo: Japanese Sautéed Burdock Root [Vegan]

    1. Prepare a big bowl of cold water. Remove the outer brown layer of each burdock with a vegetable peeler. Then, shave the burdock with a knife (exactly like how you would sharpen a pencil with a knife) and let the fresh shavings drop into the bowl of cold water to prevent the burdock shavings from turning into brown color.
    2. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a frying pan on high heat, drain and sauté the burdock shavings.
    3. Add the sauce ingredients and cook until almost all liquid has evaporated.
    4. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
