This was very good. I love the seaweed salad that I get at my local sushi joint, but I haven't been able to duplicate it at home. This is very close. I increased the amount of sesame oil and rice vinegar, but otherwise followed the directions as written. I was very surprised at the amount this made- I cut to one serving, but in my mind, I'd call that amount 4 lunch sized servings. I'll really enjoy being able to make this salad at home for my bento lunches! Made for ZWT7- Emerald City Shakers
