Seaweed Salad

Seaweed Salad

I have always loved seaweed salad, but not the $5 price tag for the small bowl at most sushi restaurants.  I was quite pleased to find out that this is super easy and inexpensive to make at home.

-1 oz dried cut wakame seaweed
-3 Tbsp rice vinegar
-3 Tbsp soy sauce
-1 Tbsp sesame oil
-2 tsp sugar
-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
-1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Soak seaweed in water according to package directions (should be 5 minutes), drain.  Whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds.  Chill 2 hours prior to serving.
