This hijiki and fried tofu stir-fry is a refreshing Chinese-style dish, lighter than traditional Japanese simmered hijiki. The sweetness of carrots, the savory fried tofu that soaks up the hijiki's flavor, and fluffy, half-cooked scrambled eggs create an exquisite harmony. Add Sichuan peppercorns to your liking for an even deeper flavor. This is Chef Wakiya's nutritious and easy go-to meal for everyday dining.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Eggs 3
  • Carrots 50g
  • Fried Tofu (Aburaage) 1 sheet
  • Dried Hijiki Seaweed 10g (approx. 100g when rehydrated)
  • Cilantro (Coriander) (to taste)

Seasonings

  • Salt (a pinch)
  • Toasted Sesame Oil (Taipaku Goma Abura) 2 tbsp

  • [A] Sugar 1/2 tsp
  • [A] Soup Stock 50ml
  • Pepper (a pinch)
  • Ground Sichuan Peppercorns (a pinch)
  • Sesame Oil for finishing (a drizzle)

Steps

  1. Finely julienne the carrots.
  2. Blanch the fried tofu in hot water to remove excess oil, then julienne it.

  4. In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs, add a pinch of salt, and mix well.
  5. Heat 2 tbsp of toasted sesame oil in a frying pan.
  6. Pour the beaten eggs into the hot pan and scramble until half-cooked.
  7. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
  8. In the same frying pan, add the julienned 50g of carrots and 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Stir-fry until the carrots are slightly softened.
  9. Once the carrots are softened, add the rehydrated 10g of hijiki seaweed and continue to stir-fry.
  10. Add [A] 2 tbsp of cooking sake, [A] 1 tbsp of soy sauce, [A] 1/2 tsp of sugar, and [A] 50ml of soup stock. Cook until the liquid has evaporated.
  11. When the liquid has reduced, add the blanched and julienned 1 sheet of fried tofu and mix well.
  12. Add a pinch of pepper and mix.
  13. Return the reserved half-cooked scrambled eggs to the frying pan and gently toss to combine with the other ingredients.
  14. Finish by drizzling with a drizzle of sesame oil. The dish is now complete.
  15. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground Sichuan peppercorns. (Secret Tip! Adding Sichuan peppercorns sharpens the flavor and makes it even more delicious.)
