Salad Base

1 cup Wakame seaweed (dried)

1 medium Cucumber

1 medium Carrot

4 small Radish

Dressing

3 tablespoons Aged soy sauce

2 tablespoons Rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (toasted)

2 stalks Green onions

Method

Salad Preparation

Rehydrate the Seaweed

In a bowl, add 1 cup of dried wakame seaweed and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes until it expands and becomes tender. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

Prepare Vegetables

While the seaweed is soaking, wash and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, julienne the carrot into thin strips, and thinly slice the radishes.

Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the rehydrated wakame, cucumber, carrot, and radish. Toss gently to mix.

Dressing Preparation

Mix the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

Add Green Onions

Chop the green onions finely and add them to the dressing mixture.

Combine Salad and Dressing

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds before serving.
