It comes from the World's Healthiest Foods: . I added extra veggies to this and made a gravy for it at the end that wasn't in the recipe. It is advisable to have all the ingredients chopped and ready before you start cooking. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dried hijiki seaweed (soak in 3/4 cup hot water-save the water!) or 1 tablespoon arame seaweed (soak in 3/4 cup hot water-save the water!) |
1 medium onion (cut in half and sliced thin) |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced) |
3 garlic cloves (pressed) |
1 medium carrot (peeled and sliced thing-i julienned mine) |
2 cups broccoli florets (cut into 1/2 inch pieces) |
1 cup green cabbage (i used savoy and cut it thin) |
4 ounces tofu (i used the firm light kind-cut into 1/2 inch cubes) |
2 tablespoons light miso |
2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce) |
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar |
salt and pepper |
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (roasted) |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon arrowroot |
1 teaspoon honey |
Directions:
1. FOR THE STIR-FRY:.
2. Chop the onion and press the garlic. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes to bring out their health promoting benefits.
3. Rinse and soak the hijiki or arame seaweed in 3/4 cup of hot water, and chop up the rest of your veggies.
4. After 10 minutes, squeeze the hijiki out and save the liquid.
5. Heat 1 tablespoons of the saved seaweed liquid in a large wok or saute pan and add the onions and carrots. Stir fry in the liquid over medium high for 2 minutes. Stir constantly.
6. Add the garlic and ginger. Continue to stir constantly. The ginger might stick but don't worry, it will be fine when more liquid is added.
7. After 2 minutes add the broccoli, stir fry for 2 more minutes.
8. Add the cabbage. Dissolve the miso in 2 tablespoons of the seaweed water. Add the tamari, rice wine vinegar, hijiki or arame, and tofu.
9. Continue stir frying for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the salt and pepper.
10. Remove from the saute pan and put in a nice dish with the gravy if using.
11. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.
12. FOR THE GRAVY(IF USING):.
13. Mix one tablespoons of arrowroot flour with one cup cold water. Bring the left over liquid that is in the saute pan to a boil and add 1 teaspoons honey . Add the arrowroot flour liquid and using a whisk stir until thickened.
14. Pour over the top of the sir-fry before you add the sesame seeds.
15. Rice would be great with this dish.
