Cucumber Sunomono: sesame cucumber sunomono in small white bowl

Cucumber Sunomono is a bright side dish that balances richer mains. Japanese cucumbers have tiny seeds and thin skin, so there is no need to peel or scoop them. Dried wakame expands about ten times in water, so start small. Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
