1/2 cup julienned carrot
2 teaspoons sour citrus juice or 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

In a small saucepan, heat sesame oil over low-medium heat. Add carrots and cook until softened.
Add hijiki, citrus juice or vinegar, sea salt, and a dash of white pepper to the carrots. Heat through.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve warm or cool.
