Sargassum fusiforme

Sea Vegetable

Sargassum fusiforme

A tier

Sargassum fusiforme is hijiki—black, wiry, strongly marine dried seaweed of Japanese and Korean sides, richer and more assertive than arame. Traditionally simmered with soy and roots. Inorganic arsenic concerns mean some countries advise limiting frequency. Soak, rinse, simmer with carrots and aburaage style; small portions. Know local advisories. Flavour is deep sea-savoury.
