Seaweed Salad Recipe: Ingredients

2 Cups of Seaweed

Seaweed Salad Recipe Preparation

You can find seaweed for your salad in most Korean or Japanese grocery stores.  The seaweed package will most likely say something along the lines of "salad brown seaweed stems".

Rinse the seaweed stems in cold water for about 15 minutes and then soak the seaweed in cold water for as long as you possibly can.  This is a very important step in preparing your seaweed salad.  The seaweed stems you use for your salad will most likely be packed in salt.  If you don't rinse and soak the seaweed stems, you will end up with a very salty seaweed salad.

Mix together the rest of the ingredients to create the dressing for the seaweed salad.  Toss the dressing with the seaweed stems and enjoy your refreshing seaweed salad!
