00:00Hi Mewtwo and today on Sudachi I'm going to show you how to make a refreshing Japanese
00:04Sonomono salad. It's perfect for summer, so let's get started.
00:08First we're going to make a sauce. Pour 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of mirin,
00:14and 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar into the pan and let it bubble for about 30 seconds.
00:19This sauce is called Sambaizu and has a salty, sweet and tangy flavour.
00:24Take it off the heat and let it cool for a bit.
00:27Add 1 tablespoon of dried rakame seaweed to a bowl and soak it in water for however
00:33long it stays on the packet, usually a few minutes.
00:37While I wait for those, I'm going to thinly slice 100g of Japanese cucumber, place it
00:51in a bowl and massage it with half teaspoon of salt to draw out the excess moisture.
01:02If you're using English cucumber, I'd recommend cutting it half length ways and scooping out
01:08the seeds before slicing. Let that rest for 5 minutes and cut 80g of boiled octopus. If
01:16you don't want to use octopus, you could use boiled shrimp or imitation crab instead, or
01:21just omit it if you like.
01:23OK, now let's wash the salt off the cucumber, and give it a good squeeze to get all the moisture
01:33out. Once that's done, place it in a mixing bowl and add the drained, rehydrated wakame, the octopus.
01:47And the sambaizu sauce. Mix until everything is evenly covered, then it's ready to serve.
01:58You can enjoy the sunomono as an appetizer, side dish or even as a refreshing snack.
