Lotus root salad (Japanese version)

Made a Japanese variation of the recipe in Every Grain of Rice: -Used 1/4 cup raw hijiki reconstitued in cold water for 10-15 minutes -Used double the amount (and doubled everything else) of frozen lotus root (no blanching needed) -Added soy sauce , Sancho and wasabi paste to taste - skipped the mushrooms and shrimp just for this time as it was going to be too much -Chiffonaded 5-6 shiso leaves - Let it sit for at least 15 minutes Delicious!
