Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Soak hijiki in cold water to cover, and shiitakes in very hot water to cover, each for about 10 minutes. Slice shiitakes, discarding tough stems. Reserve soaking liquid.

  2. Step 2

    Put olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. If you are using chicken or shrimp, brown pieces quickly in oil, for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring only once or twice. Remove with a slotted spoon.

  3. Step 3

    Drain hijiki, and put in skillet; stir once, then add carrots and shiitakes. Stir again; add chicken, shrimp or clams, along with beans, shiitake soaking liquid, dashi or stock, and mirin and soy sauce. Stir, turn heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Mixture should be thick, not soupy. Taste, add more soy sauce or salt if necessary, and serve.
