Ingredients
- 600 grams Thinly cut meat (beef, pork, belly, offcuts, other cuts--as long as it's thinly sliced, any meat is fine)
- 4 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Sake (if using beef, red wine)
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 1 tsp Grated garlic
- 30 cm Burdock root
- 1 Black pepper
Method
- Combine all of the ingredients in a plastic bag, press out the air, seal it, rub in the flavors, and let sit in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Peel the burdock root, and apply diluted vinegar to remove the astringency.
- Round-off the ends and insert a bone-like cut in the middle for presentation.
- Rinse off before using.
- Wrap the meat around the burdock root.
- Just keep wrapping.
- Start with the small strips, applying the bigger strips last.
- It'll take shape later, so for now just keep wrapping.
- Add a thin layer of oil to aluminum foil and place the meat on top.
- Season with black pepper, then wrap it up in foil.
- You'll be forming the shape with the wrap, so use 2-3 sheets.
- Once it's firmly wrapped and shaped into an iconic shape, place in a frying pan.
- Add a small amount of water, just enough to cover the bottom, and boil.
- Cover with a lid and cook steam-cook over low-medium heat for 40 minutes.
- Discard the remaining water in the pan, wipe it clean with a paper towel, remove the aluminum foil, and cook until nice and brown, and it's complete.
- This is the meat I used--pork offcuts.
- It was pretty cheap.
