Seaweed Salad Base

Method

Preparing the Seaweed

  1. 1

    Rehydrate the Seaweed

    Place the dried wakame in a bowl and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes until it becomes soft and expands.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the seaweed is soaking, julienne the carrot and slice the cucumber thinly. Set aside.

Making the Dressing

  1. 3

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

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

  2. 4

    Add Sesame Seeds and Green Onions

    Stir in the toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions into the dressing mixture.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Drain the rehydrated seaweed and squeeze out any excess water. In a large bowl, combine the seaweed, julienned carrots, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 6

    Add Dressing

    Pour the dressing over the seaweed and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy it as a refreshing appetizer.
