Directions
Golden Tofu Salad with Carrots and Hijiki, The mild hijiki is a great way to introduce seaweed to wary family and friends This was my favorite recipe from the Whole Foods class I took in Spring of 2003 at Bastyr University Careful – the salad is highly addictive!, I’ve been eating hijiki and homemade tofu since I was a small child When I saw this recipe, I thought I would give it a try I’ve never used rice vinegar or seasame oil in my hijiki I made this recipe exactly as written tonight and to be perfectly honest, if the hijiki was not so expensive I would have thrown it out It was horrible All you could taste was the sesame oil and rice vinegar I don’t know how any one could give this 5 stars I think if you replace the rice vinegar with mirin, a little sugar, and abura-age it would taste a lot better , I’ve been eating hijiki and homemade tofu since I was a small child When I saw this recipe, I thought I would give it a try I’ve never used rice vinegar or seasame oil in my hijiki I made this recipe exactly as written tonight and to be perfectly honest, if the hijiki was not so expensive I would have thrown it out It was horrible All you could taste was the sesame oil and rice vinegar I don’t know how any one could give this 5 stars I think if you replace the rice vinegar with mirin, a little sugar, and abura-age it would taste a lot better
