Kinpira is a Japanese cooking style in which strips of ingredients are stir-fried and seasoned with sugar and soy sauce. Gobou (burdock) is the most common vegetable for kinpira. I made jyagaimo (potato) and ninjin (carrot) kinpira for this recipe. It takes only 10 minutes to make, and is good as a side dish.
