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.
