    Root Vegetable Salad With Ginger-Soy Dressing

    Ingredients for Salad:

    1/2 cup carrots
    1/2 cup burdock root (a long, dark root that is delicious in stews and vegetable dishes)
    1/2 cup cucumber
    Sesame seeds, toasted
    Seven-spice powder to taste (sansho, seaweed, chili, orange peel, poppy seeds, white and black sesame seeds)
    1 tsp. sesame oil

    Ingredients for Ginger-Soy Dressing:

    1 Tbs. rice vinegar
    1 Tbs. vegetable oil
    1 Tbs. sesame oil
    1 tsp. fresh ginger
    1 tsp. soy sauce

    Preparation:

    For Japanese-style presentation, cut the root vegetables in the following styles:

    • Sengiri (julienne strips -- long and thin)
    • Nanamageri (cut on the diagonal into thin oblong circles)
    • Sasagake (little slivers or shavings)
    • Ichogiri (fan-shaped)

    Stir-fry the carrots and burdocks in a nonstick pan until just tender. Add cucumber and heat through. Set aside to cool.

    To make the dressing, combine all ingredients and serve over the top of the salad.

    Top with toasted sesame seeds. For a more intense flavor, sprinkle some Seven-spice powder to taste.
