Seaweed & Cucumber Salad

1 cup of dry Wakame Seaweed
1 English Cucumber
2 tbsp Roasted Sesame Seeds

5 tbsp Seasoned Rice Vinegar
1-2 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Mirin

Soak Wakame in hot water, cover and let stand until it expands and soften. If you have the one in longer strips, break it into smaller pieces before soaking.
Wash the cucumber and peel the skin with potato peeler so it makes green and white stripes.
Cut one end of the cucumber and use either grater to slice the cucumber into thin slices OR I like to use the potato peeler and slice it with it. It created 1/2 slices and very thin. (I hope this make sense)

Mix the Vinegar, Soy Sauce, and Mirin.
Add the drained soft Wakame and Cucumber and mix well.
Sprinkle with Sesame Seeds and chill for a little before serving.
