Instructions

  1. Add 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp mirin and 2 tsp rice vinegar to a small pan and heat on medium. Let the mixture bubble for 30 seconds to 1 minute to burn off the alcohol, then remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  2. Add 1 tbsp dried wakame seaweed to a bowl of cold water and soak it for a few minutes to rehydrate.
  3. Cut 100 g Japanese or Persian cucumber into thin slices, place it in a bowl and add ½ tsp salt. Use your hands to rub the salt over the cucumber and set aside for 5 minutes. 
  4. Cut 80 g boiled octopus into small bitesize pieces or thinly slice according to preference.
  5. Wash the cucumber under cold water and squeeze out the excess liquid. Drain the water from the wakame and place them in a bowl with the octopus.
  6. Add the cooled sauce and mix well.
  7. Dish up and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If making ahead of time, chill in the fridge until serving.
