Japanese cooking, Hijiki (Source of Calcium and Iron for Women)

Do you know what Hijiki is? Hijiki is a type of seaweed, loaded with calcium, fiber, and IRON which women need. I purchased this Hijiki at a local Asian market.

First, you prepare vegetables, like carrots or  mushrooms. Any veggies, except leafy greens are ok.

Cut the veggies

While cooking vegetables, soak Hijiki in water for 15 minutes. 

Soaking Hijiki will cause it to expand 10x in size.

Stir Carrots

Stir Green Beans

Mix in the Hijiki with the sauted vegetables. 

Stir together.

Add equal amounts of soy sauce, sake and mirin. These ingredients are available in most super markets in the US. These 3 ingredients are key in Japanese cooking.

Finished!
