Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Wash and dice cucumber; do not peel unless necessary. When seaweed is tender, 5 minutes later, add konyaku if you are using it, then drain and squeeze mixture to remove excess water. Pick through seaweed to sort out hard bits; chop if pieces are large. Combine cucumber and seaweed; shred or chop chicken or shrimp if necessary, and add to bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Add all remaining ingredients except sesame seeds, and toss; taste, and add salt or other seasonings as necessary; serve garnished with the sesame seeds.
