1/2 cup of carrot, cut in thin strips
1/2 tsp. of toasted or hot or regular sesame oil
2 tsp. of shoyu
1 tsp. of toasted, blonde sesame seeds
3/4 cup of good water
Instructions:
Boiling arame with onions and carrots:
Rinse arame under cold water - put in bowl and set aside, so arame can absorb the rinsing water and get soft.( 10 min.)
(No need to soak!) Meanwhile slice onions and carrots. In small sauce pan: warm the oil and sauté onions for 1 min.
Add carrots and sauté together for 2 min. Add soft arame. Do not mix.Add water to cover the carrot and onion and the bottom of the arame. Add 1 tsp. pf shoyu. Hold the handle of the sauce pan and circle pot to coat the vegetables with the liquids.
Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 25 min. Add the other tsp. of shoyu and cook off extra cooking water by taking off the lid.
This usually takes another 10 min. Serve in ceramic bowl with sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
To serve: steam 3 corn tortilla's at a time for 1/2 min.
Fill each tortilla with a tablespoon of arame mix. Roll up and enjoy as a side dish any time!
Save the leftover arame in the bowl with a saucer on top in the fridge for up to 4 days.
