hijiki seaweed

🥗Healthier: arame seaweed

💰Cheaper: nori seaweed

Arame is lower in sodium and easier to find, while nori is more affordable.

shiitake mushrooms

🥗Healthier: button mushrooms

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Button mushrooms are lower in calories, and canned mushrooms are often less expensive.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar

💰Cheaper: sugar + water

Rice vinegar has fewer calories, and sugar + water mimics sweetness.

dashi stock

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + soy sauce

Vegetable broth is lower in sodium, and the alternative is cost-effective.

Wash the hijiki thoroughly and drain well.

Cut the carrot into thin strips to make it more palatable for children.

Heat the salad oil in a pan and add the pork, cooking until browned.

Add the hijiki and carrot to the pan, stirring to combine.

Add the sugar first to draw out moisture from the ingredients, then add the sake, mirin, and soy sauce one at a time, waiting for each to boil before adding the next.

Simmer until the liquid is reduced and well absorbed by the ingredients, ensuring the flavors meld together.

Let cool completely before storing in a container in the refrigerator.
