have you every casually taken a bite of something and all of a sudden found that it was so amazing that you just had to over the heck out of it!!

I went to a Japanese restaurant a couple of weeks ago and had this dish made with Hijiki and soy Beans sauteed with Mirin, it was so amazing I had to try and make it my self!

 I did it with

 Onions and Daikon cut into matchsticks

 and sauteed with a little salt until they were very sweet!

-

I soaked the Soy Beans the day before then pressure cooked them for a hour.

-

and while I was sauteing the onions I had the Hijiki boiling for about an hour to 45 minutes (it amazing how long Hijiki takes to cook)  in a little bit of water.

-

then I poured out most of the water from the Hijiki then mix in the Onions and Daikon

and the soy beans and let it all cooked together.

-

I didn't have any Mirin so I just used Rice Syrup. 

and seasoned with shoyu.

I am sure this is probably not the way you are supposed to make this dish.

but it came out so FRIGGEN GOOD!! 

you guys have to try it!!
