Instructions
- Peel gobo root with a peeler. Cut 2-inch (5cm) long sections. Cut them in matchsticks of about ⅛-inch (2mm) thick.
- Immerse them in water for 30 minutes to slightly soften and remove the oxidation. For those in a hurry, it is possible to immerse them in water for a few minutes, change the water and re-soak for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the carrots and cut into matchsticks also the same length and thickness.
- Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the gobo root and carrots. Toss to coat.
- Add the dried chili flakes (optional).
- Add the sugar, mirin (or sake with vinegar rice), soy sauce. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat.
- Then add ½ cup (120ml) of water and stir. Cook until liquid is evaporated.
- Check gobo and carrot. If they are still crunchy, continue to cook, adding a little water and soy sauce.
