Ingredients
- 20 g dried hijiki seaweed
- 100 g boiled soybeans (canned)
- 75 g carrot
- 1 chikuwa (Japanese fishcake) omit for plant-based diets
- 1 dried red chili pepper thinly sliced
- 10 Snow peas
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp sake
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 200 ml dashi stock use kombu/shiitake dashi for plant-based diets
Instructions
- Add 20 g dried hijiki seaweed to a bowl of cold water and leave to soak while you prepare the other ingredients. Start boiling a small pot of water.
- Pour 100 g boiled soybeans through a colander to drain.
- Peel and julienne 75 g carrot (thin strips), and thinly slice 1 chikuwa and 1 dried red chili pepper.
- Once the water is boiling, add 10 snow peas and blanch for 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat and use a mesh spoon to scoop out the snow peas. Run them under cold water to cool them down and cut them diagonally into thirds. Set aside for later.
- The hijiki seaweed should be rehydrated by now, so drain the water by pouring them through a fine mesh sieve.
- Heat a large frying pan on medium and add 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil. Once hot, add the hijiki, soybeans, chikuwa and carrot. Stir fry until the carrot is slightly softened.
- Add 2 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 dried red chili pepper, and mix until evenly distributed.
- Add 200 ml dashi stock and turn up the heat to high. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Simmer until the liquid is almost gone and stir occasionally.
- Once the liquid is almost gone, add the snow peas, mix and remove from the heat.
- Serve and enjoy!
