Authentic Japanese Cooking: Rolling Part 2 - Beef and Burdock Rolls

The theme for this episode is Rolling (Part 2). We look at beef and burdock rolls, a dish that in Japan often finds its way onto the table during celebrative occasions. Burdock root is wrapped in beef, and sautéed with a sauce, creating an exquisite flavor. As a different variation, we then wrap the rolls in rice and seaweed to create futomaki (thick rolls). The perfect dish for parties!
