Wakame and Cucumber salad
(Su no mono) |
|
|
|
Wakame is a type of seaweed with no calories but a lot of calcium and other minerals. The combination of textures and flavours go well in this dish. You can also vary it by adding some tinned tuna or salmon; and by garnishing it with shredded or grated fresh ginger. Some Japanese cooks also add a pinch of sugar to the shoyu and vinegar mix to give a hint of sweetness.
|
INGREDIENTS |
-
One or two sachets of dried wakame seaweed
-
2 small cucumbers sliced either in very thin rounds or into matchsticks
-
15 ml (1 teaspoon) shoyu
-
60 ml (4 tablespoons) rice vinegar
-
Optionally, a pinch of sugar
-
Also optionally, some prawns or a tin of tuna and fresh ginger to garnish
|
METHOD |
- Soak the wakame in freshly boiled water for 2 minutes (or in cold water for five minutes)
- Immediately drain the wakame and gently squeeze it to remove excess liquid
- Combine the rice vinegar and shoyu (and sugar if wished – mix until it is fully dissolved)
- Add the wakame and cucumber (and tuna if used)
- Add any garnish (grated or shredded ginger) and serve
