Pick up "burdock" which dietary fiber is very much among vegetables !!
The dietary fiber contained in the burdock has functions of suppressing the rise in blood glucose level and lowering cholesterol, and it is expected to prevent lifestyle diseases such as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, colon cancer and the like!
Furthermore, since it improves constipation, we are happy also for women such as obesity prevention and beautiful skin effect.
Since the burdock's taste and fragrance are close to the skin, when cooking it is recommended to leave the skin undamaged, rinse with mortar and drain the mud and lightly scoop with the back of the kitchen knife.
Also, the ingredients of Ak are easy to discolor when exposed to air, soon as you turn it into vinegar water.
However, if the exposure time to water is too long, flavor and umami will escape, so be careful. Boil it with a little vinegar, or rice bran with juice, then boil it with a beautiful white color
How to choose burdocks / preserved tech
<How to choose>
It is fine with a thickness of about 2 cm, without cracks.
Let's avoid something that is too fat, because there is something in it. It is recommended because muddy keeps unique scent and taste
<Normal temperature / refrigerated preservation>
As burdock dries it becomes hard and flavor and fragrance disappear. Let's burdock the muddy burdock in a damp newspaper and stand up in a cool dark place.
Put the wash burdock in a plastic bag or the like and save it in the vegetable room of the refrigerator.
<Frozen storage>
It is convenient to dispense with time and trouble when using burdock which takes time and trouble such as cutting and taking out trouble, if you do not process it at the same time and keep it in frozen state for a while not to use it
Cut it into easy-to-use sized pieces, such as scattered, chopped, scribbling, etc, and expose it to water for about 5 minutes, then remove the accession. Wipe off the watering, put it in "Zip Rock Freezer Bag", remove air as much as possible, close the zipper, store frozen.
In the case of slitting or scribbling, putting them all together in "zip lock freezer bag" makes it easier to stick together, so it is better to store it in "Zip Rock Freezer Bag" after dividing it in "Saran wrap" by quantity easy to frozen I guess.
When using, unzip it in a microwave oven or cook it while frozen. It is convenient to use directly for Kinpira, Chikuzen boiled, pork soup, fried eggs and egg sticks. However, after cooking, it may become dark over time, so please note that it is not suitable for making it!
