Ingredients

Servings
  • 20 g hijiki seaweed dried
  • 100 g soybean canned, boiled
  • 75 g carrot
  • 1 chikuwa (Japanese fishcake) omit for plant-based diets
  • 1 dried red chili pepper thinly sliced
  • 10 snow peas
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil toasted
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Pour 100 g boiled soybeans through a colander to drain.
  3. Peel and julienne 75 g carrot (thin strips), and thinly slice 1 chikuwa and 1 dried red chili pepper.
  4. Once the water is boiling, add 10 snow peas and blanch for 1 minute.
  5. 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.
  6. The hijiki seaweed should be rehydrated by now, so drain the water by pouring them through a fine mesh sieve.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Once the liquid is almost gone, add the snow peas, mix and remove from the heat.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
