Kinpira gobo (きんぴらごぼう）
What kind of dish is Kinpira gobo??
Kinpira is a dish made of shredded or thinly sliced vegetables stir-fried and seasoned with sugar and soy sauce. It is preferable to give it a strong flavor to enhance its preservation.
Root vegetables such as burdock, lotus root, and carrots are common. Add other ingredients as you like, such as chili peppers, konnyaku, fish cakes, pork, etc.
The key to the deliciousness of my recipe is to use plenty of ground sesame seeds.
“Kinpira” is written as 金平 in kanji. In Japan, there is a folk tale called “Kintaro＝金太郎.” Kintaro is nickname of sakatanokinpira’s（坂田金平）.
There is an episode in which Kintaro won a sumo match with a bear when he was a child. It is said that the strong texture and chewiness of burdock and the spiciness of chili peppers were compared to Kintaro’s strength and bravery, and it came to be called “Kinpira Gobo.”
