Cut vegetables thinly. Let the Gobo pieces soak in water as you cut to remove the Gobo's harshness. Leave for 5-10 minutes if you have time, and strain.

Put oil in a frying pan and heat at medium high heat. Cook the Gobo for a minute or two, and add carrot and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add Dashi, soy sauce, sugar, Sake, and Mirin, and cook until the liquid is almost all gone.
