What is “Kinpira gobou”?
Today's I will introduce “Kinpira gobou“ Have you ever heard “Kinpira gobou”? It is side dishes that burdock root and carrot are used. This combination is classic in Japanese home. “Gobou” means burdock in Japan. Seasoning is soy sauce based and sugar is added. When I make kinpira gobo, the essential seasonings are dashi (Japanese soup stock) and sesame oil. Dashi soup gives the dish a rich flavor, and sesame oil is very appetizing.
