Stir-Fried Burdock with Beef
….I learned this dish from a Japanese cuisine chef. It’s a quick stir-fry Japanese side dish. I liked that she didn’t use sesame oil to preserve the original taste of burdock. It was fun to slice the burdock like sharpening a pencil. It was the first time I tried this, so I cut them into a mess….But once stir-fried in the sauce, it came out ok. It tastes savory and sweet, and steamed rice is a must-have. There is no end to learning. Something new comes with freshness. The chef explains in detail…thank you so much!! Chef says that eating burdock makes you beautiful!!!??? Believe it or not. The chef is very pretty.
