Cooking tips 💡

• Do not steam the burdock root for more than 5 minutes, as prolonged cooking will reduce its signature crisp texture.
• Never rinse the steamed burdock root with water, as this will wash away its natural, pleasant aroma.
• If onion juice solids are unavailable, substitute with 2 tablespoons of regular plum syrup to achieve the desired sweetness.
