Enjoy this flavorful Japanese-style Hijiki Seaweed Salad. This warm salad combines the earthy taste of hijiki, the sweetness of roasted kabocha, and the crunch of lotus root, all tossed in a savory soy dressing.
Preparation: Preheat an oven to 230C (446F). Soak the dried hijiki in water for 10 minutes, then drain well. Slice the kabocha into bite-sized pieces. Peel the lotus root and slice it into thin rounds.
Roast: Arrange the kabocha and lotus root slices on a baking tray. Roast in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes, or until they are tender.
Cook the Hijiki: Heat a little oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the drained hijiki, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir-fry the hijiki until the sugar is fully dissolved and the hijiki is coated in the sauce.
Combine: In a large bowl, combine the roasted vegetables and cooked hijiki. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.
