How to Make Savory Bacon Gobo Salad - Burdock Root Salad

Bacon Gobo Salad

       Have you ever eaten gobo (ゴボウ, ごぼう, 牛蒡), burdock roots? Gobo is popular vegetable in Asian countries. Indeed, I really love gobo! It's a savory fiber-rich vegetable. It's perfect ingredients for kinpira gobo (きんぴらごぼう), gobo salad (ごぼうサラダ),  miso soup (味噌汁), chikuzenni (筑前煮), okowa (おこわ), torimeshi (鶏めし), nabe (鍋), tempura (天ぷら) and so on. I also love gobo snacks such as gobo okaki (ごぼうおかき), gobo rice crackers.

Burdock Roots, Gobo

      If you are new to gobo, I recommend you to try this recipe. It's gobo salad, but gobo is slightly cooked. I think that everyone loves this salad. If you are in Japan, you can find gobo at any supermarkets, and if you are in the U.S., you can find gobo at most Asian supermarkets.

Gobo is inexpensive at Japanese supermarkets in the U.S. 😁
