kinpira, kinpira, kinpira.......
Kinpira gobo is a traditional Japanese side dish. This has intense flavor. We usually eat it with rice.
I love the crunchy and chewy texture of kinpira gobo.
Gobo has a lots of fiber so.... you have to be careful after eating this. hehe
Here is my kinpira gobo recipe.
gobo (about 2 feet long)
3 carrots (medium size)
2 tbs sesame oil
a pinch of red pepper
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs sake
1 tbs mirin
5 tbs soy sauce
Peel the gobo and carrots with a peeler. Shave the gobo then put them into the water. Soak them for about 5 minutes. Juline the carrots. Add sesame oil and a pinch of red pepper to a hot pan. Add the gobo and carrots and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the ingredients in this order while continuing to stir fry: brown sugar, sake, mirin and soy sauce. Add sesame seeds and stir fry for another 3-4 minutes.
