Ueong, or greater burdock root, is a root with a unique firmness and flavor. Give this dish a try as a side dish along with rice.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 large greater burdock root (ueong 우엉), available in most Asian markets (brown colored, long and narrow)
- 6-7 pieces garlic
- 1 small piece (2-3") ginger root
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup of anchovy stock (1 tbsp of anchovy powder with 1 cup of water)
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp rice syrup or corn syrup (mulyeot 물엿)
- 1 tsp roasted whole sesame seed
Recipe Steps:
- Wash and peel off the skin of burdock root. Slice thinly then cut matchstick style. Soak it in vinegar water (1 cup water & 1 tsp vinegar) or about 10-15 min stirring a couple of times. Drain and set aside.
- Mince garlic and ginger. Sauté in a frying pan with some oil. Then add cut roots, and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Make anchovy stock by boiling 1 tbsp of anchovy powder (or 2-3 dried anchovies) and 1 cup of water. Set aside.
- In a 4 qt sauce pan, put fried roots, soy sauce, sugar and anchovy stock. Bring to a boil and cook on medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the stock almost disappears.
