Hijiki seaweed is simmered in strongly flavored broth, an everyday side dish for any Japanese meals
- 1 cup dried Hijiki
- 1/2 medium carrot
- 1/2 slab Konnyaku
- 1 rectangle Aburaage (or 2 squares)
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp Sake
- 1 Tbsp Mirin
Rehydrate dried Hijiki in water in a bowl about 30 minutes. Cut carrot, Konnyaku, and Aburaage into thin 2" long strips.
Strain Hijiki and drain the water as much as you can.
Heat a frying pan with oil, and stir fry Hijiki, carrot, Konnyaku, and Aburaage together about 5 minutes. Add the seasonings and cook at medium heat for 10 minutes covered, and cook further for 5-10 minutes uncovered until the liquid is almost all evaporated.
