This is a super tasty, super easy dish; good to know how to make, good to eat, and an excellent introduction to the joys of eating Burdock... 

Directions...

1. Sliver equal parts carrots and burdock root

   
   

2. Mix with a (more or less) equal quantity of arame (a mild seaweed; you buy it dry and rehydrate by soaking it in a bit of water)

3. Add, to taste, this exquisite sauce:

   3 Tbsp soy sauce (tamari or shoyu)

   2 Tbsp rice vinegar

   1 Tbsp hot chili oil/hot chili sesame oil

   2 tsp chinese mustard

   2 tsp chili paste

   
   

4. Sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds.

   
   

This mix can be eaten raw, or stir fried. 

You can also add jerusalem artichokes/sunchokes to the mix...

Yum.
