My favorite salad

Bingo! Japan beat Korea in the Asian football cup! I was so excited. Next is the championship game on the 29th. I'm convinced that Japan will win the finals.

Today I will introduce a delicious salad, my favorite. It's a 'hijiki' salad. I don't know how to say 'hijiki' in English. When I look it up on the Internet, it seems that there is no word meaning 'hijiki' in English, but someone said that they say 'seaweed' in English. In Japan we eat many kinds of seaweed so we distinguish them clearly. Don't you westerners have a custom of eating seaweed?

Anyway let me introduce a recipe. If you can get hijiki, please try to cook it.

Ingredients:
250g of raw hijiki or canned hijiki
2 Japanese onions
2 celeries
1/2 carrot
2 pieces of deep-fried tofu

For dressing (A)
2 tablespoons of sesame oil
3 tablespoons of vinegar
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
a little pepper

Directions
1. Cut the Japanese onions, celery, carrot and deep-fried tofu into fine strips, 3 centimeters long.
2. Douse hijiki briefly in hot water beforehand.
3. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients (B). Whisk together A. Stir dressing into B. 
4. Better to serve after chilling a few hours.
