Cucumber Wakame Salad
From Yoko. A favorite in the summertime. Recipe from my mom.
Ingredients:
1 long cucumber (preferably a hothouse or English cucumber-- something with minimal seeds)
4 T rice vinegar
4 T soy sauce
1/4 t salt
1 1/2 T sugar
a handful of dried wakame
Directions:
Soak the wakame in a bowl of cold water. The seaweed will expand-- be sparing with the amount you put in.
In another bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and sugar until blended.
Peel, de-seed (if necessary), and thinly slice cucumber. Add to the vinegar mixture.
Drain and squeeze wakame and add to the cucumber. Lightly toss, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Serve cold.
