Hijiki salad recipe COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the carrot and fried tofu into strips.
Slice the lotus root into 2 mm pieces.Then cut it into a cross.
Cut dried shiitake mushrooms rehydrated into thin strips.
Stir-fry hijiki, carrots, lotus roots and shiitake mushrooms in sesame oil.
Add to mixed dried shiitake mushroom reconstituted juice and water.
When the hijiki becomes soft, add the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, and dashi stock granules.
Add washed soybeans and fried tofu when the water is gone, stop the fire and let it cool.

I’m Naoko. After graduating from a registered dietitian training school, I am working as a registered dietitian at a hospital in Japan. I love to cook and eat delicious food. I make recipes with calorie counting. The reason why all the ingredients are written as “g” is to accurately calculate calories. I am especially good at cooking with pressure cookers and ovens. I would like to introduce the recipe to foreigners who are interested in Japanese food. So I started writing Japanese home cooking recipes on my blog in English. 大学卒業後、管理栄養士として病院で勤務しています。レシピはカロリー計算を出来るだけ正確に行いたいので“g”で表記しています。日本の家庭料理のレシピを英語で紹介しています。圧力鍋とオーブンを使う料理が得意です。日本食・和食に興味を持ってもらえたら嬉しいです。よろしくお願いします(*ˊᵕˋ)♡‧₊
