Étapes
Soak the hijiki
Put the dried hijiki in a bowl and cover with plenty of water. Let it soak for 20-25 minutes until it swells and softens, then rinse well and drain.
- 20 g dried hijiki
- 1 liter water
✅ C'est prêt quand : the hijiki has softened and roughly doubled in size
Prepare the tofu
Pour the boiling water over the aburaage in a bowl to remove excess oil. Squeeze it firmly with your hands until mostly dry, then cut into thin strips.
- 1 aburaage
- 500 ml boiling water
✅ C'est prêt quand : the tofu feels dry to the touch and is cut into thin strips

The Story Behind the Dish
Seaweed has been eaten in Japan for over a thousand years, and hijiki has long been prized for its minerals and fibre. Hijiki no nimono is a classic okazu (side dish) that appears in home meals, bento boxes and the side counters of Japanese delis.
Like many simmered dishes, it tastes even better the next day.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Sweet, savoury and full of texture, it's a nutritious side that's easy to make in advance.
💡 Fun Fact
Some health agencies outside Japan advise eating hijiki only occasionally because of its natural arsenic content; soaking and rinsing, as in this recipe, reduces it.
