<Instructions>

Preparation:

  1. Rehydrate the dried hijiki seaweed in water, then drain well. For those concerned about the smell of hijiki, try the following:  Boil the rehydrated hijiki in boiling water to remove the sea smell. Once it's boiling again, strain the liquid and let it cool. 

Steps:

  1. Blanch Japanese spinach for 1 minute. Allow the spinach to cool in an ice bath or under the faucet. Tightly squeeze out the excess moisture and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. In a bowl, combine the well-drained spinach, rehydrated hijiki, corn, drained tuna, and the ingredients for the dressing (mayonnaise, soy sauce, sugar, and ground sesame seeds). Mix well.


<Miwa’s tips>

  • Dried hijiki expands to 5 times its original size when rehydrated in water.

  • Remove excess moisture as much as possible before tossing with dressing.

  • If you are opting for baby spinach, skip the blanching process. 


<Storage time>

Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days.


This Hijiki Salad is great to be served in this tableware.
