Gobo Root and Carrot Stir-fry

Print recipe

Tips

  • Gobo root has a sweet, mild, and earthy flavor.
  • It takes on a slightly nutty flavor when cooked. Add to stews, stir-fries, and braised dishes. This root is starchy and fries nicely in cooking oil.
  • This root is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant.

Ingredients (serves 3)

  • 1 large gobo root or a several small gobo roots
  • 1 carrot
  • ½ to 1 whole dried red chili, seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Direction

  1. Peel the gobo root, cut into matchsticks, and soak in water. Rinse until water runs clear. Cut carrots into matchsticks as well.
  2. Measure out the sugar, mirin and soy sauce.
  3. Heat sesame oil in a pan and sauté gobo root, carrot and red chili on medium heat until carrot is soft. Gobo root will remain a bit harder, but make sure it's not too tough!
  4. Add in sugar and mirin first. Mix well for a minute or two, then add in soy sauce. Stir-fry until soy sauce begins to caramelize.
  5. Remove from heat and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy with rice.
