1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, julienned
1 daikon, peeled and cut into small rounds
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dashi powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bag Israeli couscous

1 bunch scallions, julienned on the bias

1 jalapeno, small dice
2 ounces fresh ginger, peeled and small dice
1 small shallot, diced
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Dash cayenne pepper
Dash sambal olek
2 tablespoons hijiki

Directions
BONITO BROTH: Add bonito flakes to the water in a pot
and bring to a boil. Take off the flame and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain and

reserve.

PRESERVED VEGETABLES: To a pot, add shiitakes, daikon, rice wine vinegar, sake,
mirin, soy sauce, dashi and sugar and enough water to cover the vegetables.
Bring to a boil and let simmer on a low flame until most of the liquid has
evaporated. Remove from the flame and allow to cool.

COUSCOUS: Follow the cooking instructions on the package. To add more flavor,
you can boil with vegetable stock.

SPICY ROCK SHRIMP: In a hot saute pan, add a little oil, ginger, shallots, garlic
and saute quickly, just to brown the garlic. Add rock shrimp, cayenne, sambal
and saute for about 1 minute until the rock shrimp is cooked.

PLATING Bring bonito broth back to a boil, add preserved vegetables, cooked
couscous and cooked rock shrimp. Garnish plate with scallions, fava beans and
hijiki.
