Stir-fried hijiki with wolfberries (cooking)
Hijiki is one of the seaweeds found in the waters around Japan. A must for traditional Japanese food. For Japanese people, the taste is convincing. They are mostly sold as dried foods, so they are soaked in water, rehydrated, and fried in sesame oil, sugar, and soy sauce. The fried tofu, which has been drained of oil, and the colorful red wolfberries are stir-fried together.
Note: In the past, arsenic was detected in hijiki, causing a big fuss in Japan, but it was shown that it is also an essential nutrient, and the fuss subsided.
ヒジキ炒めクコの実添え（料理）
ヒジキは日本近海で採れる海藻の一つ。伝統的な日本食には欠かせない。日本人には、納得の味。おおむね乾物で売っているので、水に晒して戻し、ごま油、砂糖、醤油で炒める。油抜きして刻んだ油揚げと、色どりに赤いクコの実を合わせて炒めた。
注：以前、ヒジキに砒素が検出されて、日本では大騒ぎになったが、必要な栄養素でもあることが示され、騒ぎは沈静化した。
