| 1. | Slice cucumbers thinly or to desired thickness. Using a mandolin slicer works best. |
| 2. | Place sliced cucumbers in a bowl with salt and mix. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out extra moisture. |
| 3. | While cucumbers sit, make the dressing by combining vinegar, sugar, sesame seeds, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. |
| 4. | Gently squeeze cucumbers and discard as much moisture as possible. This will prevent the dressing from becoming diluted. |
| 5. | Combine dressing, cucumbers, and wakame seaweed in a bowl. Enjoy immediately! |
