Wakame is a long dark green feather like sea leaf that thrives in strong, cold ocean currents around the coast of Japan. Nutritionally it 's a good source of minerals and vitamins including vitamins B1, B2, C, iron, iodine and fibre-rich alginic acid. This delicious side dish is excellent served with tofu, rice and stir fried veggies.
Soak the wakame.
Cut the soaked wakame into fine pieces, discarding any tough bits. Combine with the carrot and sesame seeds. Mix the sesame oil, rice vinegar, sea salt, rice syrup and chilli flakes together. Pour over the wakame and serve.
Note: Mercury is a naturally occurring mineral which accumulates in the aquatic environment. It is of particular concern for pregnant women who are advised to limit their consumption of larger species of fish higher up the food chain. The sea vegetable hijiki, which may still be purchased from Asian grocers, may contain high levels of mercury compared to other seaweeds and should be avoided.
