Notes

  • Other vinegars can be replaced - white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, wine vinegar but each different vinegar will taste differently. 
  • Vietnamese cucumbers or continental cucumbers are recommended to use for this recipe. 
  • Wakame seaweed can be replaced with bits of cooked octopus, and Shirasu baby fish (cooked and dried)
  • Instead of sprinkling white sesame seeds, garnish with finely chopped ginger is delicious too.
