Japanese Vegetarian Kinpira Recipe

Japanese Vegetarian Kinpira Recipe

Kinpira is mostly seasoned with soysauce, mirin (sweet sake), and sugar so it is pretty sweet, but instead of using sugar, I used ketchup, so my recipe is tasty 😉 Also, I didn’t use gobo (burdock root) but commonly available vegetables (such as potato, onion, and green pepper), so I hope you can try it out!!!

BTW, soy sauce is made by fermenting soya beans, so it is a vegetarian seasoning 😀
