Healthy Japanese Leek and Salted Kombu Seaweed Salad

I wanted to eat something simple and fresh tasting so I made this. It was surprisingly delicious. It's great added to udon noodles too.
Use either ponzu sauce or mentsuyu sauce, whichever you prefer. Ponzu sauce is more refreshing and mentsuyu sauce has a sweet taste. If you're using a whole leek, put the green part in the boiling water first, then add the white part 5 seconds later. Double the seasoning ingredients if you're using the whole leek. For 1 serving.

Japanese Seaweed Salad with Sesame & Miso Dressing Japanese Seaweed Salad with Sesame & Miso Dressing
Japanese seaweed salad with sesame and miso dressing is a quick and very refreshing recipe which is perfect to eat during the hot summer weather. I will share with you two different ways to prepare this salad. One with Japanese mustard greens (mizuna); and one with cucumber, red leaf lettuce and tomato.35 years ago in Japan, I was introduced to the Japanese seaweed salad(Kaisou Sarada in Japanese) and fell in love with this dish. An authentic Japanese seaweed salad is not the same as those you get in the Japanese restaurant in the State. If you’ve ever had it, it actually tastes so much better.Video instruction: youtu.be/6XfgAMoe_Gs Julie - Mrs. Lin's Kitchen -

Easy Tofu and Wakame Seaweed Salad Easy Tofu and Wakame Seaweed Salad
This is a old favorite side dish at my parents' house. We have it a lot alongside rich or spicy dishes like curry rice and gyoza dumplings or oily foods.Use silken or firm tofu, whichever you prefer. If you leave the tofu in water for a while the beany smell will lessen, making it easier to eat. You can use green shiso dressing instead of ponzu sauce. In the summer, some cubed tomato is a delicious addition. Please adjust the amount of ponzu sauce depending on the size of the tofu block. Recipe by cureo cookpad.japan -

It's an inexpensive recipe that you can make with ingredients you have on hand.Try adding some thinly sliced carrots for color. Mix the carrot with the bean sprout on the same plate and microwave. Instead of mixing everything together, leave some things to put on top as accents to make it look more appetizing. When you have lots of toppings, add some extra seasoning. For 3 to 4 servings.

Nutrient-Rich Summer Salad with Veggies and Plenty of Wakame Seaweed Nutrient-Rich Summer Salad with Veggies and Plenty of Wakame Seaweed
In my garden, I harvested tons of cucumbers and tomatoes! Although I use them daily in salads and salt-cure them, I got bored of the same prep. Adding wakame seaweed makes this super tasty! A bit of ham also makes this even tastier.-I used Ninben's 3x concentrate mentsuyu.-This is also good with okra!-Adding perilla leaves and myoga ginger give this an adult taste!-Squeeze out excess water from the reconstituted wakame seaweed.-Blending right before serving gives the cucumbers a succulent bite. On the other hand, if you let it sit, the flavors will blend well (although it will become watery). Prepare it as you like! Recipe by moj cookpad.japan -
