Sunomono (Japanese Cucumber Salad)
Report
Sunomono (酢の物) literally means "vinegared thing" and refers to a Japanese cucumber salad, which is dressed with a sweet vinegar dressing. It's very easy to make from just a handful of common ingredients and makes for a nice contrast to other dishes in a meal with its crunchy texture and sweet and sour taste.

Ingredients
- 260 grams Japanese cucumber ~2 cucumbers
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 45 grams wakame
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar evaporated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 pieces crab meat (or shrimp or octopus for garnish)

Instructions
- Slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible and then add the ¼ teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly and then let the cucumbers rest for 5-10 minutes.

- Grab the cucumbers with your hands and squeeze as much water from them as you can.

- Add the squeezed cucumber, and wakame to the vinegar mixture and toss everything together to coat.
- Serve the sunomono in small kobachi bowls, and garnish with cooked shrimp, crab, or octopus and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
