Sunomono 酢の物
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.
