Sea Vegetable Salad
This recipe marries vegetables from land and sea. I obtained the arame from a store called Natural Grocers, very much like Whole Foods.
Dressing:
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. rice vinegar
1 T. mirin
1 tsp. sesame oil
2 T. grated ginger
Salad:
1/2 cup dried arame
1/2 cup red bell pepper, minced
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup carrot, minced
1/2 cup English cucumber, sliced
1/2 cup bamboo or coconut shoots
1 T. sesame seeds, toasted
Assembly:
Soak the arame in water for 30 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Mix ingredients for dressing. Arrange ingredients and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle with dressing.
Arame is a spaghetti-like sea vegetable with a mild, sweet taste. Can be eaten raw or simmered for 5-10 minutes. Good in stir-frys and salads.
