Cuisine Japanese
Servings 2 tako

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Wakame Soak wakame in water for 10 minutes
  • 1 English cucumber or japanese cucumber
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Ginger Julienne

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp Dashi or water
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp Sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Drain the wakame
  • Alternately peel a ½-inch-side strip lengthwise, leaving a strip of the skin intact. With this method, the cucumber slices have some decorative dark green accents and a little bit of extra crunchiness. Cut the cucumbers into thinly slices, about ⅛-inch thickness (or even thinner!).
  • Sprinkle the cucumber slices with salt and massage them. Let stand for a few minutes and squeeze out excess water from cucumber. Transfer to the bowl from Step 1.
  • Combine the dressing ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over high heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside to cool.
  • Before serving, pour the dressing over cucumber slices and wakame and mix well together. Serve in individual dishes and garnish with ginger on top.
