Recepies for SeaWeed salad?

I've been wanting to make this dish for some time and i'm wondering if anyone had any recepies for this dish. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

you just have to get some seaweed and season it with dressing which is typically a mixture of sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and perhaps sugar to taste. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the following thread, you will see some useful info as well.

Or, you can buy the salad pre-made and dehydrated. Just add water. There are various brands but this is a photo of one of them.

Otherwise, I recommend following Uco's suggestion of using your fave search engine.

http://www.kabuki-house.com/Seaweed.htm, this is the type i'm looking for. I would really appreciate if someone could drop a name for this type of seaweed. Thanks alot

It is wakame. I posted on another old thread, too:

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

Here is a photo:

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).

In asian stores, there are sometimes packets of unseasoned seaweed that look just like the seaweed salad we all love so much. One of these packets was labeled Wakame Stem Sliced. The wakame leaf is broad and thin, looks nothing like the salad. However, the stem might make more sense...

...this old topic helps you?

I have found that munktapus goes well with seaweed salad. Simply slice pickled munktapus into thin wafers and add to your fav goma wakame recipe.

I have been able to purchase this item in the past and I paid about $18.00/kilo. However, that was something like a wholesale price in 2005.

Hey! I just got some salted seaweed stem at the asian store near my house. It's the stringy kind for $1.99 (seven ounces) in a packet. There's tons of different kinds of seaweed, different precut widths, etc. It looks the same as the restaurant seaweed salad.

most sushi places get their seaweed salad in bulk and contain MSG. This is not good. So try making the salad without it using the ingredients that I have listed.
