Kinpira refers to a Japanese cooking style of braising vegetables, typically root vegetables, and often a combination of carrot and burdock. Burdock is a tenacious root that’s especially good for your liver and blood. It’s often available in farmers’ markets in the fall.

Nori Rolls

These rolls can be a main course or appetizer. They're quite filling, though. If serving as an appetizer, I would count on one roll (or 1/2 even) per person.
