Me-hijiki Iri Tamagoyaki

Tried a new recipe from 3 Minute Cooking magazine. It’s a bit more time consuming than your regular tamagoyaki, and I think the end result as followed in the cook book is a bit lacking (or the fact that my taste test didn’t include daikon and additional soy sauce…). Otherwise, it’s not bad.

Me-hijiki iri tamagoyaki
Serves 4.

Ingredients

  1. 10~15g dried me-hijiki (shoots)
  2. 1/2 green onion
  3. 4 eggs
  4. 1-1/3 tbsp sugar
  5. pinch of salt
  6. 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  7. vegetable oil

1.) Soak hijiki in water for 30 minutes, then let it drain in a colander. Finely chop the green onions.
2.) In a bowl mix the eggs, sugar, salt, and soy sauce. Add the hijiki and mix.
3.) Cook like normal tamagoyaki (I found the hijiki to clump together where they landed, maybe the fry pan was too hot?). Cut and serve with grated daikon and soy sauce.
