Hijiki seaweed is simmered in strongly flavored broth, an everyday side dish for any Japanese meals

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions 

  • 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.
