Wakame, cucumber and sesame salad
The most direct way into wakame: it rehydrates in cold water alone and turns silky, barely saline. Cucumber brings freshness; sesame, a toasted note.
Ingredientes
- 15 g whole-leaf wakame (or 2 tbsp flakes)
- 1 cucumber
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
Preparación
- 01Rehydrate the wakame in cold water for 8–10 min, until it unfurls. Drain and cut into strips.
- 02Slice the cucumber thinly, salt lightly and rest for 5 min. Drain off the water it releases.
- 03Whisk the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce and honey.
- 04Toss the wakame with the cucumber and the dressing. Finish with sesame on top.
With flakes there is no need to soak as long: 3–4 min in cold water is enough.
