Kimpira Gobo

This is one of the very traditional Japanese dishes. Kimpira means strong, energetic, and gobo is a type of very unique Japanese vegetable. You might be surprised if you see actual gobo before it is cooked, because it looks like a root - and it is a type of root! And it's nutritious, and very very healthy. This is one of my very favorite dish. If I eat this with rice, I can not stop eating!
