we had a strange christmas this past year and we went out to a japanese restaurant for our christmas dinner...my friend made me try the seaweed salad and i fell in love! ever since then i've been on a quest to make my own...i finally kinda-sorta figured it out but i still can't get it to taste like it did at the restaurant! the main ingredient is wakame (dried seaweed)...i found it at a chinese grocery but you might be able to find it in the international section of the grocery store.
1 pkg wakame (it usually comes in long strands, so chop it up into pieces, and to serve two people you will need about 2 c. worth)
3 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. soy sauce or teriyaki sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. white sesame seeds
rehydrate wakame in a bowl filled with hot water for 5 minutes.
drain and pat dry. place in refrigerator.
make dressing in a separate bowl by combining the vinegar, oil, soy sauce, and sugar.
pour over wakame and mix well.
top with sesame seeds.
