Notes
- Goma wakame salad is very easy to make yourself and will taste the same as the one that is available in the stores… only you know exactly what is in it! The ones sold commercially contains suspicious ingredients to add/preserve colour and crunchiness. It will look a bit different as it is made with the fronds (or leaves) of the wakame plant while the one from the store is made with the stipe (or stalk) from the same plant.
- This is a very quick salad to make and it is best is to mix in the dressing close to serving time because the vinegar will eventually discolour the seaweed.
