Instructions

Rinse hijiki seaweed thoroughly in cold water, then leave to soak in a bowl of water for around 30 minutes to rehydrate. Once rehydrated, drain, then press gently between your hands to remove excess moisture. Place on absorbent paper to dry completely.
Peel the carrot, then cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and 5 mm thick to cook evenly.
Cut the konnyaku into thin strips 3 cm long and 5 mm thick. Lightly salt and let stand for 5 minutes.
Blanch the konjac in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain in a colander.
Place the fried tofu in boiling water for a few seconds to remove excess fat. Drain and press lightly to remove the water, then cut into strips 3 cm long and 5 mm thick.

Cooking

Heat the sesame oil in a large saucepan or frying pan over medium heat. First add the carrot strips and sauté for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Then add the fried tofu pieces and let them brown lightly for 2 minutes, making sure they are well coated with oil.
Add the hijiki, followed by the konnyaku. Gently mix all the ingredients so that they are well coated with the sesame oil and begin to blend harmoniously.
When all the ingredients are well coated with sesame oil, stir in the dashi and sake.
Cover with an otoshi-buta (typical Japanese lid) or, failing that, with a sheet of aluminum foil the size of the pan, making sure it is in contact with the food.
The cooking liquid should rise a little around the edges.
Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the carrots are tender but still slightly crunchy.
When the carrot is cooked, add the sugar and mirin. Simmer for a further 5-7 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half and the sauce is slightly syrupy. Finally, add the soy sauce and cook for a few more minutes.
Once cooking is complete and the liquid has almost completely evaporated, your dish is ready to serve.
Arrange the hijiki, carrots, konnyaku and tofu on plates and serve hot, accompanied by a little Japanese white rice for a complete meal. You can also add a touch of toasted sesame seeds or green onions for added freshness and crunch.
