Chuka Seaweed Salad with wakame, sesame oil and rice vinegar — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Salads

Chuka Seaweed Salad

Chuka is a seaweed salad served as a cold starter in Japanese sushi restaurants, made from rehydrated dried wakame in a sesame-soy dressing. The name is misleading: 'chuka' (中華) means 'Chinese-style' in Japanese, not a type of seaweed — the wakame itself is often sold dried as chuka wakame (中華わかめ) or under the dish's own name, 中華海藻サラダ. The dried strands soak in cold water until silky, then get tossed with rice vinegar, chili paste, and grated ginger. It comes together in under 15 minutes and keeps well chilled for a day or two.
