Ingredients

For the Salad

For the Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons mirin
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds divided
  • salt to taste
  • 1 green onion chopped

Instructions

  • Place the dried seaweed in a large mixing bowl. Add cold water and soak for 8-10 minutes.
  • In the meantime, add soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, salt, sugar, and sesame oil in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Add 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and half of the chopped green onions to the dressing.
  • Drain the water and squeeze the rehydrated seaweed with your hands to remove excess water.
  • Add the seaweed to the mixing bowl, and pour the dressing on top. Toss to coat evenly. Add more salt or other seasonings if needed.
  • Sprinkle more sesame seeds and chopped onions. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze the water out of your seaweed, so you don’t end up with a watery dressing.
