This Japanese Seaweed Salad (Wakame) is a super flavorful vegetarian salad that goes well with lots of other Asian sides, such as Sushi. It is Incredibly easy to make and ready in just 15 minutes!
Pour the water into a bowl, add the dried seaweed (Wakame) and cover the bowl with plastic wrap for 10-15 minutes or until the seaweed absorbs the water.
35 g dried wakame, 600 ml water
Now, drain off the excess water completely.
Mix in all the other ingredients until combined; garnish with sesame seeds and serve or keep in the fridge.
Cut the Wakame in a shorter length before adding it to the bowl of water. It expands longer once soaked, so cutting it up shorter will be more convenient when you serve the salad.
Don't worry if your Wakame does not appear as green as you can see on the internet. It will turn a brighter shade of green once soaked!
Make sure that the shallots, ginger, and green onions are minced so that they can give their most flavorful tastes to the recipe. It will also be more convenient for the appearance of the salad.
