Simple Seaweed Salad

1. 1

   Rinse the seaweed once and soak it in at least 10 times its volume of water.

2. 2

   When tender, about 5 minutes later, drain and gently squeeze the mixture to remove excess water.

3. 3

   Pick through the seaweed to sort out any hard bits (there may be none) and chop or cut up (you may find it easier to use scissors) if the pieces are large.

4. 4

   Put in a bowl.

5. 5

   Toss with the shallot, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, cayenne, and salt.

6. 6

   Taste and add salt or other seasonings as necessary.

7. 7

   Serve garnished with the sesame seeds.
