Cooking tips

  • Avoid adding minced garlic, as it can overpower the fresh aroma of doraji (balloon flower root) and potentially introduce unwanted bitterness or heaviness.
  • To achieve a clean, tender, and slightly moist texture, avoid using any cooking oil and instead steam the doraji (balloon flower root) with just a small amount of water, covered over medium heat.
  • Do not store the hot doraji (balloon flower root) in the pan or mix in sesame seeds while still warm, as this may cause discoloration. Always spread it out on a wide plate and cool completely before finishing.
