Cut the burdock root into thin matchsticks, soak in water for 5 minutes, and drain.
Cut the carrots to the same thinness.
Mix the soy sauce, sugar, water, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and saute the burdock and carrots for 5 minutes, keeping them crisp.
Add the sauce to the pan and turn the vegetables for 4 minutes, until glossy.
Add the sesame seeds and stir for 1 more minute.
Serve kinpira gobo warm or at room temperature.
💡 Tip: Soak the burdock briefly after cutting, too long weakens its aroma, but skipping the soak darkens it quickly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kinpira gobo warm or at room temperature as a small side with rice, miso soup, or an optional plain omelet.
