Name of japanese salad?

What is the name of the japanese style salad which is bright green in colour, has a bit of red chilli in it, and also lots of sesame seeds... does anyone have a name for it, or a recipe to share. Thank you very much

The name is chuka wakame. And if you have a recipe, please share it with me because I am looking for that for 2 years!

If that's Trudy from the Netherlands, this may not be relevant...but in the US midwest I have found that there are many more Korean groceries than Japanese-oriented ones, and if you find one with a fresh-foods counter or "deli" type arrangement, you will probably be able to see ingredients that look very similar to what you describe and be able to cobble together a salad mostly similar to your chuka wakame.

Yes, that's me. And I do like the salad but to go for it to the midwest of the states is a bit too far, I think ;-)

I found a retailer here in the Netherlands, but they are too far from my house and only sell it frozen so I can't pick it up by myself and by airmail is not possible because than it will be defrosted when I get it. :-(

The seaweed salad is called "goma wakame", and the seaweed is "wakame".

You can buy it pre-made on the internet (search for "goma wakame", for example,http://www.sushifoods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=14115&Category_Code=perfoodprods&Product_Count=4 - here are the ingredients: Seaweed salad or goma wakame is seaweed blended with soy sauce, vinegar, onion powder, red pepper, sesame oil and seeds) or buy the seaweed in many stores or over the internet (search for "wakame", for example, http://www.quickspice.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/scstore/japanesefoodseaweed.shtml?E+scstore ).

Here is a recipe I found:

Wakame Seaweed Salad With Gomasio

Seaweed is great in salads.

What You Will Need
2 ounces fresh wakame seaweed
2 Japanese cucumbers
assorted young greens (mesclun)
1 tablespoon su rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
pinch salt
pinch fresh white pepper
prepared Chinese mustard

What Now?
Pour hot water over fresh wakame seaweed. Immerse in water and drain. Cut into 1 inch lengths.

Wash the cucumbers then take a fork and run it along the skin from tip to tip on one side and then the other to score it to make a simple pattern. Japanese cucumbers are much more delicate than Western varities. If you cannot find them, use a single English cucumber, slice it in half and seed it. Cut on the bias into thin rounds and sprinkle with salt.

Tear the baby greens into bite-sized pieces and arrange in a bowl.

Mix and stir the dressing ingredients.

Mix seaweed, cucumbers with the dressing and then place them ontop of the greens. Garnish with gomasio (sesame salt).

equal parts water, vinegar and sugar.

Serve cold with shrimp/vegie bundles or ??
