About

The taste of hijiki is somewhere between rice and vegetable. It goes well with meat or tofu products, especially when it’s stir-fried with a little oil first.

Ingredients

90 g/3½ oz dried hijiki seaweed
150 g/5

Method

Soak the hijiki in cold water for about 30 minutes. When ready to cook, it is easily crushed between the fingers. Pour into a sieve and wash under running water. Drain.
Peel the skin from the chicken and par-boil the skin in rapidly boiling water for 1 minute, then drain. With a sharp knife, shave off all the yellow fat from the skin. Discard the clear membrane
