In this recipe video, I will introduce how to make Kinpira Gobo (Braised Burdock Root). This is a traditional Japanese side dish perfect for Japanese breakfast and Bento. “Kinpira” came from the Japan’s old story. The main character Kinpira was strong and courageous man, so Kinpira represents strong and courageous in Japan. “Gobo” is a root vegetable called burdock in English and has lots of fiber. For cooking, Kinpira means a stir-fried veggie dish seasoned with soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. Kinpira gobo is cooked with burdock only but we add carrot quite often. This is also a Plant-based, Vegan & Gluten-free Japanese recipe.
