Instructions
0 Slice Cucumber: Wash the cucumber, cut off the ends, and slice it thinly using a slicer. 1 Add Salt: Place the slices in a medium bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let the cucumbers sit for about 5 minutes. 2 Soak Seaweed: While the cucumbers are sitting, take a small bowl and soak the dried wakame seaweed in cold water for about 5 minutes until it is rehydrated. Drain the seaweed completely. 4 Add Seasoning: Once the cucumbers have sat for 5 minutes, remove any excess water and add rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce to the bowl. Toss the cucumbers well with the seasoning. 5 Add Wakame Seaweed: Finally, add the rehydrated wakame seaweed to the bowl and toss everything together. 6 Topping: Sprinkle toasted white sesame seeds over the salad.View original recipe
