Hello!
I hope everyone is staying healthy during this COVID-19 pandemic.
I have been eating a lot of immune-boosting nutritious foods to maintaining optimal health, both physically and psychologically. I would like to introduce one of my favorite recipe "fried rice with burdock root and turmeric."
I used burdock root because I love it! Burdock root is a very popular vegetable in Japan and is called "gobo" in Japanese. Burdock root is high in fibers and has anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, and anti-cancer effects and purifies our blood. Also It is a natural diuretic, so if you are dehydrated, please do not drink too much burdock tea.
I use burdock roots very often - please find another burdock root recipe here.
