as I was finishing updating my site ( adding more recipe ) ... I thought I should share some here although I am sure if anyone is interested in Gobo ...

Gobo is Burdock root in Japanese language and has the cleansing effect ( especially blood ) and more ...

more info found here : www.herbalextractsplus.com/burdock.cfm

... recipe with gobo ...

<<< stir fry Gobo and Veggies >>>

- tofu ... cut in cube and braised with coconut oil with a bit of bragg amino for color
put braised tofu on the side


- gobo ... cut into strips, soak in water to get rid of extra soil and smell for 10-20 minutes
- green pepper ... cut into strips
- carrot ... cut into strips
- onion ... slice into strips
- shiitake mushroom ... slice into strips

stir fry the vegetables with coconut oil, add tofu, add bit of sugar, bragg amino, black pepper ( red chili pepper ) and sesame oil and sesame seeds at the end.

option ... add meat or shrimp instead of tofu

.............................................................

<<< veggie sticky rice >>>

- regular rice ( Japanese or Korean, or sushi rice grain )
- sticky rice
(either 1:1 or 2:1 ratio on mixing rices)
wash/rinse the rice and prepare adding water as needed ( bit smaller than usual ) and put on the side.

- shiitake mushroom ... cut into pieces
- carrot ... cut into strips or smaller
- daikon radish ... dice into the size as you like
- gobo ... cut into strips or smaller, and soak in water to get rid of the extra soil and smell for 10-20 minutes

add those vegetables into the rice in water, add some green pea for some color, add some sugar, pinch of salt, bragg amino or soy sauce for color. ( add some sake rice wine or mirin sweet cooking wine if you like )

mix ( stir ) well before and after cooking.
garnish ... sesame seeds and/or nori seaweed cut into strips

option ... bamboo shoot strips, some other Asian mushrooms like shimeji/oyster mushroom, maitake mushroom, ... you can add chicken, too ...


... sorry for not having the amount of ingredients ... I am pretty "about" and never really measure. I go with what I have and use my five senses, especially looking, smelling, hearing and touching during cooking. it is a good exercise for our senses to be more aware.
and sorry for my poor English ...
