My Grandmother's Wrapped Burdock

Ingredients:
- 2 Burdock root
- 20 slice Thinly sliced pork
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1/3 tsp Dashi stock granules
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 50 ml Sake
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Sugar

Directions:
- Scrape off the skin of the burdock root with a knife.
- If the burdock is quite thick, cut it vertically into two.
- If the burdock is rather thin, leave as is.
- Cut into 5 cm lengths.
- Put the Step 1 burdock into a pot and fill with water until just covered.
- Add the ingredients and turn on the heat.
- Boil until the burdock is soft.
- When the burdock has become soft, remove from the water and wrap with the pork.
- If the pork is long, cut it in half.
- (I used shabu shabu type pork in the photo and one slice was just right.)
- Fry Step 3 in a frying pan with the seam end on the bottom.
- When the meat begins color, add the ingredients and simmer until the liquid evaporates.
