Mozuku (Cladosiphon okamuranus) is noodle-like seaweed which is mainly produced in Okinawa. It is rich in fiber and minerals! Mozuku is usually sold frozen, so please check the freezer at Asian grocery stores. I hope it is available!!! For this recipe you need plain (non-flavored) Mozuku, so don't get the one soaked in vinegar! This recipe won the grand prize at mozuku recipe contest! http://www.mo19.com/recipe/2009/03/post_31.html It goes great with white rice and perfect for bento. BTW, Gomoku (五目) means five ingredients in Japanese :) My blog about our trip to Okinawa ;) http://createeathappy.blogspot.com/2012/01/trip-to-okinawa.html --------------------------------- Stir-Fried Mozuku Difficulty: Easy Time: 5-10min Number of servings: 2 Ingredients: 100ｇ (3.5oz.)
