Wakame Seaweed and Okra Sunomono image

In Japan sunomono is often eaten as part of Japanese meals in different variation. Okra became popular in Japan in the late 20th century and before that it was hardly ever seen or eaten. Now, you see okra in many recipes in Japan. Wakame seaweed is often used in miso soups along with tofu pieces and can be purchased in bags or refrigerated bags. My original recipe indicated 40 gram of wakame but I've since decided to change this to reflect less wakame in the recipe. If you like wakame to dominate this taste, please use higher amount.

Time 17m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

20 g wakame seaweed
8 okra
3/4 inch fresh ginger, thinly julienned
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Soak wakame in water until soft and salt is removed. Drain and cut into bite size pieces (about 3/4 to 1 inch by 3/4 to 1 inch). I usually do this with scissor.
  • With a bit of salt, rub the okra to remove the fuzziness. Parboil okra for about 1 - 2 minutes in hot water. Plunge in chilled water to cool down quickly. Slice okra into 1/4 inch slices.
  • Combine sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water and salt in a small bowl. Place wakame, okra, and ginger in the bowl and combine well. Chill before serving.
  • Best served immediately or within 6 hours.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it needs a few more ingredients to really make it shine.

I didn't have any okra, so I used zucchini instead. It turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing helped to mask the okra flavor.

I was skeptical about the combination of wakame seaweed and okra, but I was pleasantly surprised. The salad was refreshing and flavorful, and the dressing was just the right amount of tangy.

This sunomono salad was a delightful explosion of flavors and textures. The wakame seaweed and okra added a unique twist to the classic dish, and the tangy dressing perfectly balanced the flavors.
