I tried Family Mart's "Edamame and Hijiki with Ginger Flavored Chicken Salad". With a suki refreshing ginger flavor, this dish can be enjoyed on a hot day. It contains 88 kcal, 9.2g (0.07oz) protein, 2.8g (0.28oz) fat, 4.5g (0.18oz) sugar, 2.0g (0oz) dietary fiber, and 1.3g (0.11oz) salt equivalent.

Ginger flavored chicken salad with edamame and hijiki

Ingredients include crunchy edamame, small pieces of steamed chicken, hijiki, and carrots for color. The salad is seasoned with shredded ginger dressing, pickled ginger, and grated ginger. When the white shredded ginger is eaten together with the chicken and beans, it gives the dish a refreshing taste with a slightly acidic aftertaste.


The bonito dashi is also used, creating a unique balance of Japanese and Western influences with a touch of ethnic characteristics. The refreshing taste makes it an enjoyable snack with jasmine or oolong tea, as well as a side dish for rice, rice balls, beer, or chu-hai (a refreshing beverage). It is not a bad idea to try it when the temperature is high and you feel your appetite is a little low.
