Ingredients
- 1½ounces hijiki (about 1 cup)
- 5large or 10 small dried shiitake mushrooms
- 2tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1cup diced chicken, shrimp or shucked small clams (canned are fine), optional
- 2medium carrots, peeled and shredded
- 1cup fresh soybeans, flageolets, peas or black-eyed peas
- 1cup dashi or chicken stock
- 2tablespoons mirin (or 1 tablespoon honey)
- ¼cup soy sauce, or to taste
- Salt if necessary
Preparation
- Step 1
Soak hijiki in cold water to cover, and shiitakes in very hot water to cover, each for about 10 minutes. Slice shiitakes, discarding tough stems. Reserve soaking liquid.
- Step 2
Put olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. If you are using chicken or shrimp, brown pieces quickly in oil, for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring only once or twice. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Step 3
Drain hijiki, and put in skillet; stir once, then add carrots and shiitakes. Stir again; add chicken, shrimp or clams, along with beans, shiitake soaking liquid, dashi or stock, and mirin and soy sauce. Stir, turn heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Mixture should be thick, not soupy. Taste, add more soy sauce or salt if necessary, and serve.
