SEAWEED AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Provided by Scarlett516

Categories     Japanese

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup wakame seaweed, hiziki or 1/2 cup arame seaweed
1 medium japanese cucumber (or English cucumber)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
  • While the water is coming to a boil, soak the seaweed in cool water for 10 minutes.
  • Put the seaweed into the boiling water, remove immediately, then plunge into the cold water.
  • Dry the seaweed, trim any rough parts, and chop.
  • Meanwhile, cut the cucumber in half length-wise. If there are lots of seeds, scrape them out. Slice as thinly as possible.
  • Mix the cucumber and seaweed.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the vegetables.
  • Chill up to 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp seaweed and cucumber: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for seaweed that is a deep green color and has a slightly slimy texture. The cucumber should be firm and have a bright green color.
  • Cut the seaweed and cucumber into thin strips: This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salad easier to eat. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to cut the vegetables.
  • Soak the seaweed in water for 15 minutes before using: This will help to soften the seaweed and make it more palatable. If you are using dried seaweed, you will need to soak it for longer, according to the package directions.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavors of the seaweed and cucumber. A simple vinaigrette or a light soy sauce dressing is a good option.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Seaweed salad is best when served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, the seaweed will start to lose its texture and flavor after a few hours.

Conclusion:

Seaweed and cucumber salad is a healthy, refreshing, and delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of essential nutrients, such as vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like iron and calcium. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is sure to become a favorite in your home.
