Ingredients
- 25 g of dried Wakame
- 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar; you can substitute stevia / Splenda or honey
- 1 - 2 tablespoons of soy sauce (replace with tamari if you prefer gluten-free)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame seeds
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ginger (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic (optional)
Method
- Place the seaweed in a sieve and rinse under running water to remove excess salt.
- After rinsing, place the seaweed in a bowl, add lukewarm water until it is slightly above the seaweed, and leave it to soak for about 10 minutes—it should become plumper and glossy. Then drain and cut the seaweed into smaller pieces.
- Mix the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Add the seaweed and mix well.
- Leave the ingredients to marinate for about half an hour.
- Before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds, ginger, and chopped garlic on top to taste.
