Steps:
- Put all the Amazu ingredients in a jar or a bowl and mix well until the sugar dissolves.
- Sprinkle salt over the sliced cucumber, mix and leave for 10 minutes to let it wilt.
- Squeeze the water out of the cucumbers and put it in a mixing bowl.
- Break very large crab meat into smaller chunks, some into flakes (note 3). Reserve a few large chunks of the crab meat with red skin on them for decoration and put the rest into the bowl with cucumber (note 4).
- If the wakame comes in long strands, cut them into bite-size pieces. Squeeze the water out and put them into the bowl (note 4).
- Mix the ingredients in the bowl so that the ingredients are evenly scattered (note 4).
- Transfer the mixture to serving bowls, place a couple of reserved large chunks of crab meat in each bowl, and serve with amazu in a little jar. Alternatively, pour the amazu over the salad and serve.
Tips:
- Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor.
- If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat, but be sure to drain it well before using.
- If you don't have rice vinegar, you can use white vinegar, but add a little sugar to taste.
- If you don't have a bamboo mat, you can use a plastic wrap to roll the cucumber.
- Be careful not to overcook the cucumber, as it should still be slightly crunchy.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and Sriracha to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
