  • 1 shallot minced
  • 1 knob ginger microplaned
  • 2 stalks green onions minced

Instructions

  • Place the dried wakame (seaweed) in a large bowl.
  • Add 600ml room temperature water to the dried seaweed to cover.
  • Let the seaweed reconstitute and absorb the water (about 10 minutes).
  • Once the water has been absorbed, drain off any excess water.
  • To the seaweed, add the minced shallot, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and yuzu extract.
  • Give everything a stir, until evenly combined.
  • You can enjoy the salad right away, or store the salad in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours for even more flavour.
