veganRehydrate wakame
Put the Wakame in a small bowl and cover it with cold water. Let it soak for 5 minutes, until the pieces look plump and tender, then drain well and gently squeeze out any excess water.
Slice the cucumber
Thinly slice the Cucumber into very fine rounds, then toss the slices with Salt in a colander or bowl. Leave them for 10 minutes so the salt draws out moisture, then squeeze the cucumbers lightly with your hands to remove as much liquid as you can.
Mix the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together Rice Vinegar, Sugar, Soy Sauce, and the remaining Salt until the sugar dissolves and the dressing looks smooth.
Toss the salad
Add the squeezed cucumber and drained wakame to a bowl, pour the dressing over the top, and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Keep the motion light so the cucumber stays crisp and the wakame stays in nice, silky pieces.
Garnish and serve
Divide the salad among serving bowls and sprinkle the top with the toasted Sesame Seeds. Serve right away while it's cool and crisp.
