Kinpira Gobo with Miso Sesame Seasoning
Burdock kinpira is a rather classic Japanese appetizer. The traditional way is to cook it in sake and mirin instead of honey and miso, but I have a hard time hunting down cooking sake in Indonesia. I almost bought drinking sake if not for the ridiculous price (as with all other alcoholic beverages). And since I already bought the burdock anyway, it would be a waste not to cook it right? Happily, this turned out to be better than I imagined. ♥
