Easy Seaweed Salad (Wakame)
Description
Easy Seaweed Salad (Wakame) uses dried wakame seaweed soaked in water to rehydrate and expand, creating a slightly chewy texture that holds the salad's flavor well. Mix-ins such as minced shallot, ginger, and green onions provide mild pungency and freshness. The dressing of soy sauce and toasted sesame oil gives the salad an umami-rich, nutty depth, while yuzu or lemon juice adds a gentle citrus tang.
The salad can be enjoyed immediately after mixing or chilled for a few hours to deepen the flavor meld. It works well as a light appetizer, a side dish accompanying seafood or rice dishes, or a refreshing component in a Japanese-inspired meal.
Ingredients
- 35 g wakame dried, cut
- 600 ml water room temperature
- 1 shallot minced
