Simple Seaweed Salad image

The easiest way to produce this is to buy a small package of mixed seaweeds and proceed from there. But once you get more familiar with seaweed, you can use wakame, kelp, hijiki, or others, alone or in any combination you like.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ounce assorted dried seaweeds or wakame
1/4 cup minced shallot, scallion, or red onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon rice wine or other light vinegar, or to taste
1 tablespoon mirin or 1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/2 tablespoon dark sesame oil, or to taste
Pinch cayenne, or to taste
Salt, if necessary
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, optional

Steps:

  • Rinse the seaweed once and soak it in at least 10 times its volume of water. When tender, about 5 minutes later, drain and gently squeeze the mixture to remove excess water. Pick through the seaweed to sort out any hard bits (there may be none) and chop or cut up (you may find it easier to use scissors) if the pieces are large. Put in a bowl.
  • Toss with the shallot, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, cayenne, and salt. Taste and add salt or other seasonings as necessary. Serve garnished with the sesame seeds.

I'm not a big fan of seaweed, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The seaweed is surprisingly delicious and the dressing is perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover seaweed. I had some leftover from making sushi and I didn't want it to go to waste. This salad was the perfect solution!
