Among my Christmas gifts from Japanese Family was a bag of Gobo.
Gobo is the root of the Burdock plant, that can grow to 3 or 4 feet long.
The Gobo is crispy, white, sweet and the flavor is similar to the artichoke.
This can be cut into chips, or thin slivers that are usually stir-fried, added to soups, stews
roasted and my favorite pickled.

This is a bag of cut Gobo, that has be soaked in a sauce.
When opening the bag the aroma of spicy pepper is then mixed with sesame, touch of sugar and soy.
Eating these are like crunching air. They are so light.
I don't know how these are made, possibly a freezed dried method ?
I now have a new favorite snack.
Plus what a great label.

I would think freeze dried, since it's shipped to you.
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be, they are crunchy and airy

ReplyDeleteIs there any danger the Square Ones ® will appropriate this in place of the Chikken Strips? YERT!
ReplyDeleteThe inquiring mind of «Louis la Vache» wants to know...
Not a chance but as I say that Watson might ....
ReplyDeleteNothing ever will replace CHKIKIN' strips

I was never so big on the pickled roots myself. I just had some in an onigiri recently - not so keen. Glad to hear you've found a tasty treat for yourself, though!
ReplyDeleteI love pickled anything...
ReplyDeleteOnigiri is a favorite but must be bought in a Japanese market... the one where you follow the 3 steps to open the cellophane to wrapper the seaweed around the filling (yes it must be filled with umeboshi, spicy tuna... ) I ate these many mornings while running/waiting for trains. Or lunch. I miss Japan
We've got a new place in Burlington that actually does a passable job with them. No, it's not quite the real thing but it'll do in a pinch. The comfort food of any culture is definitely worth trying to replicate.
Deleteso good
