Cooking tips
- The unique aroma of burdock root is most concentrated near the peel, so handle it lightly with a scrubber to just remove dirt, preserving the fragrance.
- The step of spreading burdock root widely like a cushion is essential to prevent the fish flesh from breaking or sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Unlike typical braising, cooking quickly over high heat instead of low heat for a long time keeps the fish flesh moist and prevents it from becoming dry and crumbly.
- It's most delicious when you flake off the flesh, dip it lightly into the sweet and savory sauce pooled in a bowl, and eat it with the burdock root.
