Seaweed
Looking for something different? Try a seaweed salad. Served mostly at Japanese restaurants, seaweed is a very nutritious food. The kind of seaweed that we can eat is called wakame, and it is rich in calcium, iron, niacin, and thiamine. So the next time you have sushi, try a side salad of seaweed or even try this recipe at home!
Ingredients
3/4 ounce dried wakame seaweed (whole or cut)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar (not seasoned)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
Directions
Soak seaweed in a bowl of warm water and cover for 5 minutes.
Drain and squeeze any excess water. If wakame is uncut, cut into strips.
In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ginger, and garlic in the bowl until sugar is dissolved.
Combine dressing with seaweed and add scallions and cilantro.
Sprinkle salad with sesame seeds.
Enjoy!
