Recipe : Burdock & Hijiki Salad
Hijiki (dried seaweed) and gobo (Japanese burdock root) are ingredients rich in dietary fiber and packed with nutrients. They also have a great texture, providing a satisfying bite and a sense of fullness. In this recipe, in addition to hijiki and gobo, I also use corn and string beans. This salad allows you to get a combination of iron, vitamins, minerals, and calcium all at once. It’s perfect as a side dish for a bento box or as a make-ahead dish for meal prepping.
