Preparing ingredients for vegan seaweed salad

Prepping the Ingredients

Rinse the seaweed in diluted salt water 2-3 times to remove impurities. Then, soak the seaweed in clean water for about 15 minutes and rinse once more. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Wash the cucumber, remove the seeds, and cut into small strips. Peel the carrot, wash, and cut into similar small strips. Mix the cucumber and carrot with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, let sit for 15 minutes, then squeeze out the excess water.

Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and chop it finely. Remove the seeds from the long chili, slice one thinly and mince the other.

Making the Salad

Heat a pan with 2 teaspoons of cooking oil, add all the mushrooms, and quickly sauté over high heat for 3 minutes. Let the mushrooms cool slightly before mixing with the salad.

Prepare the dressing by squeezing the juice from the lime, adding 2 tablespoons of vegan fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Adjust the sugar and vegan fish sauce to taste.

In a large bowl, combine the seaweed, cucumber, carrot, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and mix well with chopsticks. Let the salad marinate for 10 minutes before serving.
