Seaweed Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Rehydrate the Seaweed

    Place the dried wakame seaweed in a bowl and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes until it expands and becomes tender. Drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the seaweed is rehydrating, wash and thinly slice the cucumber and carrot. You can use a mandoline for uniform slices or a sharp knife for a more rustic look.

  3. 3

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated wakame, sliced cucumber, and carrot. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Chop the green onions finely and sprinkle them over the salad along with sesame seeds and chili flakes to taste. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
