Why is the burdock root at side dish stores crunchy?
If you make it at home, it will be tough or mushy
It was one of two.

There were two steps before cooking.

The first is vinegar water
If you slice the burdock root
It turns brown quickly.
So, after slicing diagonally
Soak it in vinegar water immediately.
1 tablespoon of vinegar in 2 cups of water, 10 minutes
If you do this, the color won't change.
The bitter taste also disappears.
Then rinse
Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes.
If you blanch it, the bitter taste
It falls out one more time.
Rinse with cold water
Squeeze out the water thoroughly.
If moisture remains
The braising sauce has become watery, so the seasoning isn't soaking in.
The second is oil
Before pouring the braising sauce
Sauté in oil for 2 minutes first.
If an oil film forms on the surface
It does not get mushy while cooking
It leaves a crispness.
