Korean-style wakame and bean sprouts salad
This is a refreshing salad that can be eaten as a side dish, or as a condiment to other dishes. While the wakame is a staple ingredient in this recipe, the bean sprouts can be substituted with soy bean sprouts, celery, or any other vegetable with a crunchy component. Cooked edamame can also be added for additional texture and flavor.
