Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried wakame seaweed
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Powdered erythritol (keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 stalks Green onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Place the dried wakame seaweed in a medium bowl and cover it with cold water. Let it soak for 5-7 minutes or until the seaweed is tender and rehydrated.
Once the wakame is rehydrated, drain it well and gently squeeze out any excess water using your hands or a clean kitchen towel. Chop the seaweed into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari), powdered erythritol, minced ginger, and minced garlic until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Place the prepared wakame seaweed into a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss everything together until the seaweed is evenly coated in the dressing.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and optional red chili flakes on top of the salad for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy as a side dish, appetizer, or light meal.
