Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ounce wakame or assorted seaweeds
1/2 pound thin-skinned cucumber
4 ounces konyaku, shredded (optional)
1/2 to 1 pound cooked chicken or cooked shrimp (optional)
1/4 cup minced shallot, scallion or red onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
Salt, if necessary
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse seaweed, and soak it in at least 10 times its volume of water.
  • Wash and dice cucumber; do not peel unless necessary. When seaweed is tender, 5 minutes later, add konyaku if you are using it, then drain and squeeze mixture to remove excess water. Pick through seaweed to sort out hard bits; chop if pieces are large. Combine cucumber and seaweed; shred or chop chicken or shrimp if necessary, and add to bowl.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except sesame seeds, and toss; taste, and add salt or other seasonings as necessary; serve garnished with the sesame seeds.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very filling.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more vinegar and sesame oil next time.

This salad is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less soy sauce next time.
