Wakame and Tuna With Soy Dressing

"From The Japanese Cooking Class Cookbook. A good quick sea-based dish for a warm night, and would be even better with some fresh raw or grilled tuna. Wakame is a flavorful and nutrient-dense sea vegetable available in dried form in Asian markets. This makes a nice lunch with a small bowl of rice on the side and a cup of miso soup."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
