Burdock stalk is the young peeled stalk of greater burdock, pale, juicy, crunchy, with a slightly bitterish, refreshing taste recalling artichoke and celery. It is boiled, braised, fried in batter and tempura, pickled, added to soups, vegetable stews and salads, and Japanese-style (kimpira) sauteed in matchsticks with carrot, soy sauce and sugar.

Lopukh in Korean is a unique dish that combines the tenderness of young burdock stems with the rich flavor of soy sauce and the aroma of fried onions. Its origin is closely tied to European culinary traditions, but the unusual choice of ingredients gives it an Asian flair. The dish has a soft texture with a slight spiciness complemented by spicy yanem. It is perfect as a side dish or a standalone snack, especially when paired with rice. Due to its simplicity in preparation and unusual taste, this recipe will beautifully fit into your diet, adding a touch of originality and richness.
