Yamagobo (Japanese Pickled Burdock Root)
Report
Yamagobo is Japanese pickled burdock root marinated in rice vinegar, sugar and salt mixture. It’s tangy, sweet, and refreshingly crunchy with a bright orange color. Homemade Yamagobo is incredibly easy to make, and great as an accompaniment to sushi rolls or rice meals.

Instructions
- Peel the gobo and then cut it into evenly-sized matchsticks. Then immediately place the cut pieces in a bowl of water with a little bit of vinegar for about 15 minutes. This will prevent them from turning brown and remove any astringent taste.
- Place the salt, sugar, vinegar, water and food coloring (or carrot powder) in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Continue stirring the pickling mixture until all the salt and sugar have dissolved. Set aside to cool down.
- Place the cut gobo strips in a sterilized, airtight storage container or mason jar.
- Pour in the pickling liquid, and ensure all surfaces of the gobo are covered.
- Seal with the lid and store the contain in the refrigerator.
- Let it marinate for at least 3 days for the flavors to develop. (It can last for up to 1 month in the fridge)
- Use the pickled Yamagobo in sushi rolls or serve with a bowl of rice or noodles.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough yamagobo strips and marinade that fit into one 16-oz mason jar.
