Fried Noodles with Carrots and Hiziki
1 9-ounce package fresh Chinese lo mein noodles
Nonstick cooking spray
2 teaspoons light olive oil
Powdered cumin and powdered sage to taste
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 bunch parsley, leaves chopped, stems discarded
1/2 cup dried hiziki seaweed, reconstituted in warm water for 15-30 minutes
Soy sauce to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the lo mein noodles, cooking until slightly tender but still quite chewy, about 1-2 minutes. Drain and rinse, then spray noodles with nonstick cooking spray. Run your fingers through the noodles to separate the strands and distribute the oil, spraying a little more oil throughout the noodles to evenly coat them. Cut the noodles into shorter lengths with kitchen shears.
Heat the light olive oil, cumin, and sage in a skillet over high heat until the spices sizzle. Add the noodles and stir fry until golden. Add the carrots, parsley, and seaweed and stir fry until carrots and parsley have wilted, seasoning generously with soy sauce. Serves 2.

Wow, I have to try this! My husband loves hijiki (okay, me too) but I don't often see recipes for it.
Thanks!

Heather--maybe you can answer this--the recipe I looked at in _Tassajara Cooking_ called the seaweed hijiki, with a j, but the package I found at Wild Oats (Eden brand), which I presumed to be the right stuff, spelled it hiziki, with a z. Is there a reason for this? I was mystified.

Geez, I've no idea. I've only seen it spelled hijiki, at Japanese restaurants and in Asian markets. Maybe it's just a phonetic translation from Japanese that has more than one English version?
