Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Rehydrate the Seaweed

    In a bowl, soak the dried seaweed (wakame) in warm water for about 10-15 minutes until it expands and becomes tender. Drain and squeeze out excess water.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the seaweed is soaking, thinly slice the cucumber, julienne the carrot, and slice the radishes. Combine all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

  3. 3

    Add Seaweed to Vegetables

    Once the seaweed is rehydrated, add it to the bowl with the sliced vegetables. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Sesame Seeds

    Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the salad and mix well.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the seaweed and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving dish. You can garnish with extra sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
