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