Kaiso Seaweed Salad

Description

Kaiso Seaweed Salad is a refreshing and vibrant Japanese dish made with a variety of seaweed, often including wakame, agar, or hijiki, tossed in a light, tangy dressing. The seaweed itself is typically rehydrated and mixed with fresh ingredients like cucumber and sometimes carrots for extra crunch. The dressing usually consists of rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and a touch of sugar, giving the salad a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

Kaiso seaweed salad is often garnished with sesame seeds and sometimes chili flakes for a bit of heat. The dish is light, healthy, and full of umami, making it a popular side dish in Japanese cuisine, particularly at sushi restaurants. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy the delicate flavors of seaweed while benefiting from its nutritious properties.
