wakame salad

This restaurant-style Japanese Seaweed Salad (a.k.a. "wakame") is perfect when paired with a tray of sushi, or your favorite Asian soup. You can make this at home in just 10 minutes!

Japanese Seaweed Salad (Wakame)

(1.7 ounces) dried wakame seaweed

soy sauce

rice vinegar

mirin

sugar

ginger

garlic

sesame oil

red pepper flakes

baby cucumber (skin on), very thinly sliced

½ teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds

black sesame seeds

Place the seaweed in a medium-sized bowl and cover with water. Let sit for 10 minutes until rehydrated.

While seaweed is soaking, prepare the dressing: In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

When the seaweed is rehydrated, strain the seaweed in a colander and rinse thoroughly. Make sure to remove as much moisture as possible, squeezing the seaweed if necessary.

Add the seaweed, sliced cucumber, and sesame seeds to the bowl of dressing and toss well to coat.

Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

When ready to serve, garnish with extra sesame seeds. 

Wakame is one of my favorite little side dishes at the sushi bar! I’m so happy to learn how to make this at home!

This dish is really making me want to travel again, and especially to Japan! I love the flavors here and that it only takes 10 minutes to make!

I have heard a lot about edible seaweed but still haven't tried it. I might just use your link to give it a try along with your amazing recipe!

Wow! This recipe looks so delicious and enticing to see. Greenish looks make it's so tempting to eat. I would definitely make this at home.

I have always seen this but never tried it, thank you for all the information. I will make it a point to try this, it looks delicious and so healthy!

I love the vibrant colors in this salad and it really looks delicious, and so easy to make.

I'm a huge seaweed salad fan so I was really excited to come across this recipe. Thank you!

I've been wanting to make seafood salad at home and this recipe came out perfect.  Even better than takeout.  Will make it agian.

Love the sound of this Japanese seaweed salad. I'm not sure I can buy the dried seaweed where I live, but am going to check it out on Amazon!

This salad looks straight out of a sushi resteraunt!

Such a light and fresh salad!  I love that this is equally healthy and delicious!

I always buy this salad in the store as I never knew how to make it. Now I do and I can't wait to make it for my family!

Those are certainly healthy and delicious salads. I can't wait to try them at home, I know my family will love them!

This is really good! Tastes very similar to the seaweed salad you can get at an Asian restaurant or grocery store. I'm so happy I can now make this at home! I ended up using raw seaweed that my local Asian mart had and I added fresh thinly sliced carrots and scallions. Thanks for the great recipe!!

Dried seaweed sold packaged, like wakame looks very brown.  "Fresh" wakame salad probably reconstituted is always really bright/dark green.   Is this true for all the seaweed or kelps we can buy ? 
I see frozen packs of seaweed and/or seaweed salad - are these any good ?

I made this and love it, but I bought the exact seaweed from the Amazon link (that you posted here) and it's not the same seaweed I'm used to from salads at sushi restaurants. This is more leafy as opposed to crunchy and stringy. This pictures above also have the seaweed I'm used to. Almost like they are stems from seaweed (more like spaghetti noodles, than lettuce. Do you know what that is called and where I find it?

Really easy and good flavor recipe but I'm still searching high and low for the same kind of seaweed (long stringy vs leafy) as they typically have in restaurants.  I feel like someone is holding out on us so we have to keep going back to the restaurants. Lol.  Same thing every time I try Indian cuisine.....they must be leaving out an ingredient or secret because I cant replicate how good it is in many restaurants. Huff
