Ingredients:

  • Young Hijiki (before rehydrating): 6g
  • Yuzu peel: to taste 
  • Thinly sliced pork belly: 180g
  • Green part of leeks (thinly sliced diagonally): 60g
  • Sesame oil: 1 tbsp
  • Salt: to taste
  • Soy sauce: 1/2 tsp
  • Chili oil: to taste

How to:

  1. Soak Young Hijiki in water for 6 minutes to rehydrate.

  2. Heat sesame oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add the green part of the leeks and sauté over high heat until slightly charred for 2 minutes. Lightly sprinkle with salt and mix to combine the flavors. Set aside.

  3. In boiling water, add enough salt to make it as salty as soup, then add the thinly sliced pork belly, shredded into bite-sized pieces, and turn off the heat. After about 3 minutes, if the pork is cooked through, remove it from the water.

  4. Tip: Do not cool the pork using iced water since the texture of the pork will become too stiff. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

  5. In a large bowl or container, mix all the ingredients and seasonings together, adjusting the salt to taste.

  6. Serve the mixture on a plate while still slightly warm. If storing in the refrigerator, warm it in the microwave before serving to prevent the pork fat from solidifying.

SEA VEGETABLE: Young Hijiki is harvested from Young Hijiki sprouts, known for their crunchy texture. The preparation is simple and similar to using salted wakame, making it very convenient!
