How to make simmered hijiki
How to rehydrate dried hijiki and how to cut ingredients

Cut the carrots into 4-5 cm thick strips, and the aburaage into thin strips.
Hijiki simmered recipe/how to make
Add your favorite oil, such as salad oil or rice oil, to a pot and set it over medium-low heat. Then add the drained hijiki and stir-fry for 1 to 1.5 minutes.
Next, add the deep-fried tofu and mix quickly, then add 150ml of the dashi stock and all of the seasonings (2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of mirin). Mix with chopsticks so that the seasoning dissolves.
When the broth comes to a boil, reduce the heat a little and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes, keeping the heat level so that the skin of the pot will simmer.
Stir occasionally with chopsticks and simmer until a little liquid remains at the bottom of the pot.
