I love hijiki, but it tends to get leftover. I am often asked by friends how to make hijiki rice... but its so easy that there isn't much of a recipe.Add French beans or chikuwa for color and add sesame seeds if you like.

I came up with this when I made a Japanese-style dashi for chicken soup stock for my ramen noodles It's delicious!The amount of 'dashigara' (leftover kombu and bonito flakes from making dashi soup stock) is not precise. Adjust the amounts depending on your leftover dashigara.I use roughly shaved dried bonito flakes, which have a strong taste and give a nice flavor.If you prefer it sweet, add about 1/2 teaspoon sugar to taste.
