Preparing the Seaweed

  1. 1

    Soak the Wakame

    Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, thinly slice the cucumber and carrot into matchstick-sized strips. Set aside.

Making the Dressing

    Combine Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and mirin until well combined. Add sesame seeds and mix well.

Combining the Salad

  1. 4

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the soaked wakame, sliced cucumber, and carrot. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated.

Garnishing and Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish the Salad

    Sprinkle the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top of the salad before serving.
