Healthy Sesame Simmered Burdock Root and Aburaage

• 100 grams Burdock root
• 1 Aburaage
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 tsp Sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp Mirin
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp Dashi stock
• 150 ml Water
• 1 tbsp Toasted white sesame seeds

1. Drain the aburaage with a generous pour of hot water.
2. Slice into matchstick-sized pieces.
3. The burdock root should also be sliced thinly, with each piece about 4 cm long.
4. Soak the cut burdock water in water to remove the harshness, then drain.
5. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the well drained burdock root.
6. When it's started to wilt a little, add the aburaage, dashi stock and water, and simmer over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
7. Add the ingredients, cover with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
8. Uncover and check the burdock root.
9. If it's cooked to your desired degree of softness and the cooking liquid has almost gone, add the sesame seeds and mix in.
