Hijiki, a brown seaweed that grows on rocky shorelines in East Asia, has been a staple in Japanese cuisine for centuries. Its earthy almost mushroom-like flavor and pleasantly chewy bite shine in this nimono (simmered dish). Domestically harvested soybeans and carrots add crunch and color while thin ribbons of aburaage (fried tofu) impart a subtle soy flavor. Aburaage and konnyaku (or konjac, a jelly-like food made from yams) add textural intrigue and act as flavor sponges, soaking up the sweet and salty sauce and carrying the flavors throughout the dish.

Fantastic pair to rice

I was quite surprised when I tasted this mixture. I really thought that it was just hijiki and beans, but the konnyaku and the fried tofu were a perfect surprise to create this delicious mixture. I mixed these into rice and made a simple onigiri. Please consider this available in Michi no Eki all year round.
