This seaweed salad recipe is remarkably easy to make, requiring only simple seasoning with vinegar and sugar, making it perfect for everyone to enjoy.
Main Ingredients- Salted Seaweed (Hizikia fusiforme) 120g
- Cucumber 1 medium
- Pickled Radish Wraps (Ssammu) 100g (1 pack)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the salted seaweed thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess salt. Then, blanch it in boiling water for just 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook, as it can make the seaweed mushy. After blanching, rinse with cold water and gently squeeze out any excess moisture. Thinly slice the cucumber into matchsticks. If the seaweed strands are too long, you can cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Next, thinly slice the pickled radish wraps (ssammu) into similar-sized matchsticks as the cucumber. The slight tang from the ssammu will add another layer of flavor to your salad.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the prepared seaweed, sliced cucumber, and sliced radish wraps. Gently toss them together. Now, it’s time to add the simple yet delicious dressing!
Step 4
The dressing is incredibly straightforward: just sugar and vinegar! No other ingredients are necessary. You can adjust the ratio of sugar to vinegar to your preference, but a 3:5 ratio typically yields a well-balanced sweet and sour taste. Avoid adding sesame oil, as it can overpower the natural oceanic flavor of the seaweed.
Step 5
Add the sugar and vinegar to the bowl and mix everything gently until well combined. Your refreshing, sweet, and tangy seaweed salad is now complete! You’ll love the chewy texture of the seaweed paired with the crispness of the cucumber and radish wraps. This salad is highly recommended for those who enjoy a zesty flavor profile. It’s a perfect side dish or a light, healthy appetizer.
