hijiki

[veritenue]

i just bought a bag of dried hijiki, and need some recipes on how to prepare it. hijiki has a very strong flavor which i honestly don't like it at all, but i want to find recipes to use it in that help mask the flavor of it because of it's high iron and calcium content. please post any recipes you may have.. especially if they help make the flavor

it's also been banned in the uk due to its high arsenic content

What?!? This is the first I've heard of this! That is very interesting, must do some googling. Thanks for posting this, I never would have known.

Yeah, I never bought it because it's kind of dodgy. Wakame does me just find (and kombu, but it doesn't taste of very much).

Well, I don't know if these recipes will "mask" the flavor of hijiki, but they'll probably be pretty tasty (especially the inarizushi one). Good luck!
