Easy to make seaweed salad

I first tasted this salad at one of those all-you-can-eat sushi joints in my hometown. Sometimes it is rolled in toasted nori or served alone in a small bowl.

Like my addiction to sushi, I just couldn't get enough of this stuff. That's why I decided to learn how to make it at home. It's really easy! Just follow the recipe below.

Ingredients

• 3/8 oz dried wakame seaweed

• 3 tablespoons light soy sauce

• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar (without seasoning)

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 2 tablespoons sesame oil

• 2 scallions, thinly sliced

• 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger

• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Soak dried wakame in warm water for about 5-8 minutes

Drain and place in a bowl of water. Quickly remove and plunge into cold water

Mix vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.

Mix wakame and dressing.

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and scallions

Chill in fridge prior to serving

Tip - Instead of wakame try using chewy strips of konbu if you prefer a more intense flavour. If you liked this recipe try this one for wakame and cucumber -
