Recipe

Score the thick parts of the chicken thigh, flatten it, then season with salt, pepper, sliced garlic, and julienned ginger. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Cut the burdock root into bite-sized pieces, soak in vinegar water, then briefly blanch in boiling water.
Heat a pan with a generous amount of cooking oil, and sear the chicken thigh skin-side down until golden to render its own fat.
In a cold pot, add a little cooking oil, then add the blanched burdock and the seared chicken thigh cut into bite-sized pieces.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce seasoning sauce, then boil over high heat until the liquid reduces to about 1 tablespoon, and it's done.

Season the chicken thighs and pan-fry until golden brown.
Soak the burdock root in vinegar water, then blanch and set aside.
Add the soy sauce seasoning to the chicken and burdock root, then braise over high heat.

Cooking tips

Searing the chicken thighs thoroughly in oil renders out their own fat, reducing greasiness and giving a crispy outside and moist inside.
Soaking burdock root in vinegar water removes its harsh taste, and a quick blanch keeps it tender while bringing out its characteristic aroma.
Braising over high heat for a short time ensures the seasoning penetrates deeply and gives a glossy finish.
