We first tried it when it launched a few years ago, when giving out samples was one of the ways TJs introduced their customer to new products pre covid. My kids loved it so much I created our own version by experimenting with the ingredients on the back of the package. I packed my version with more veggies and used less oil. The result is still comparable to the real thing and a tad healthier, rich mushroom umami, nutty edamame, slightly chewy rice and packed with Japanese flavors. Hope you give it a try. I would love to know what you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div

Japanese short-grain rice, previously cooked and cooled<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;tablespoon&nbsp;dried hijiki seaweed or 2 tablespoons furikake<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd packet aburaage or seasoned fried bean curd** <strong>see notes below for substitutes <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;small-medium&nbsp;carrot, thinly sliced<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6-8 oz mixed or fresh shiitake mushrooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;cup&nbsp;shelled&nbsp;edamame, organic preferred<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;tablespoon&nbsp;any neutral oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2-3 cloves garlic, chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 tablespoons TamarI or low sodium soy sauce, Japanese style<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1&nbsp;teaspoon&nbsp;sugar, <strong>see notes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2-3 tablespoons&nbsp;mirin, <strong>see notes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds for garnish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 stalks spring onions, thinly sliced, whites separated from green<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"instructions\">Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> If you freshly cooked your steamed rice, spread it on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to let cool and dry out as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-hydrate hijiki seaweed in 1 cup water for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring a small pot of water to a boil and take it off the heat. Add the aburaage to the boiling water and allow it to soften and release the oil. I recommend you do this step even though its optional, it reduces the oil and sweetness. Transfer to a plate to let cool. Squeeze out as much oil and water as possible. Slice into thin strips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thinly slice the carrots, mushrooms and defrost the edamame. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heat sesame and neutral oil over medium heat in a large frying pan or wok. When it\u2019s hot, add the hijiki seaweed, aburaage, mushrooms and carrot. Saut\u00e9 to cook the veggies and they&#8217;re well coated with the oil and tender. Add the sake, mirin, gluten free soy sauce and mix all together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the edamame and steamed rice. Break to seperate the rice as Japanese rice tends to be sticky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the rice is separated, each grain is well coated with the seasonings and well heated through, take it off the heat and add sliced green onions, sesame seeds. Enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NOTES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Aburaage is deep-fried tofu pouch ( see images) also called and similar to inariage\/seasoned fried tofu pouch; but they tend to be very sweet. I briefly soak it in warm water and squeeze as much soaking liquid (oil and sugar) to reduce the grease and sweetness. See details in instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18838\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=18838\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?fit=2000%2C2500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2000,2500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D750&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1642788415&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;105&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_5162\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?resize=1175%2C1469\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18838\" width=\"1175\" height=\"1469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?resize=1229%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1229w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?resize=1638%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1638w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DSC_5162.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My spin on the famous Trader Joe\u2019s Japanese Hijiki fried rice, Trader Joes came out with this item a few years ago and it remains to be one of their most popualr frozen meals, find it in the frozen section to try their original recipe.
