Cooking tips 💡
- Using black sugar gives a deeper, richer sweetness compared to regular white sugar.
- Wash burdock root under running water to remove dirt but keep the skin on to preserve its distinctive aroma.
- Sealing tofu with a torch prevents it from breaking during cooking and adds a subtle smoky note.
- Finish leftovers by stir-frying udon noodles in the remaining broth for a delicious stir-fried udon dish.
