Arame no nimono (seaweed salad)

Japanese
How do you make the perfect Japanese seaweed salad? By adding as many different flavors and structures as possible. The main part of this recipe is, of course, seaweed, but there are many more Japanese flavors in it. The ginger dressing provides that nice balance between umami and fresh acid. You can say from this recipe that seaweed salad is healthy! There is a legal stipulation as to how much seaweed you 'may' eat, and that is only a few grams per day. So really see this salad as a side dish and share it generously with everyone at the table!
