Seaweed Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Rehydrate Seaweed

    In a bowl, add the dried seaweed and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes until it expands and softens. Once rehydrated, drain and rinse under cold water.

  2. 2

    Prepare Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated seaweed, sliced green onions, and roasted sesame seeds. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, sprinkle chili flakes over the salad for a bit of heat and toss again.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the salad marinate for about 10 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
