Shrimp and Algae Salad à la Japanese


The idea was taken from Maraboutchef, sushis et compagnie 2001.But since some of the ingredients I don't really have, such as green algae, I decided to use the me hijiki algae. And I also added avocado fruit, and altered almost all of the measurement. Well, it is not that I want to brag about what I made, but it tastes sooo good, that I finished my portion, within 5 minutes. Hehe...

Ingredients:
  • 300 gr cooked medium shrimps, (I used frozen package)
  • 1 avocado fruit, peeled, slice
  • ½ cucumber, cut length in two, discard seed using a spoon, sliced thinly, and sprinkle salt, set aside for 15 minutes. And wash it under running tap, and drain well.
  • 100 gr me hijiki algae, soak with hot water, drain.

Sauce, in a small pot, boil the following:
  • 60 ml Rice vinegar
  • 2 tbs kikoman sauce soja
  • ½ dashi powder
  • ½ tps ginger powder
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 2 tbs mirin

Direction:
  1. Combine the algae and shrimp in a big salad bowl, pour the sauce, set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. Add the cucumber and avocado, mix well, serve.
