Steps

1

If using fresh edamame, boil them. If using frozen, thaw according to package instructions. Remove the beans from the pods. Soak the hijiki in water to rehydrate, and drain the tofu to remove excess water.
2

While the hijiki is still soaking, microwave it uncovered at 600W for 2 minutes. Drain in a strainer, rinse briefly with water, and squeeze out any excess moisture.
3

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Your salad is ready to serve!
