Notes

  • Wakame is a great ingredient to have in the pantry because it is shelf stable and a quick, easy, and affordable way to get some greens in your body fast.
  • This is a basic easy recipe. Feel free to add toasted sesame seeds, chili pepper flakes, scallions, shredded carrots, garlic, or ginger.
  • Don't have fresh lemon? Substitute rice vinegar or any vinegar in a pinch.
