Slice daikon, carrot and konnyau into 1/16” thickness, then cut into small bite-sized pieces. Diagonally slice burdock into 1/16” thickness and submerge in a bowl of water (not included in the ingredients list) to keep from darkening. Cut taro root into a quarter or bite-sized pieces. Cut green onion lengthwise into 1" long pieces. Slice pork as thinly as you can.
