Atlanta chef at Heirloom Market BBQ Jiyeon Lee’s lightly pickled mix of vegetables and seaweed is especially good with seafood.

Ingredients

4 Servings

1

oz. dried wakame

½

cup distilled white vinegar

cup sugar

3

tablespoons kosher salt

1

teaspoon black peppercorns

½

English hothouse cucumber or 2 kirby cucumbers, sliced ¼” thick

¼

medium daikon (Japanese white radish; about 6 oz.), peeled, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Soak wakame in a small bowl of cold water 20 minutes. Drain and squeeze wakame gently to remove excess water. Cut into 1–2” pieces.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns, and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, whisking to dissolve sugar and salt. Let cool.

    Step 3

    Combine wakame, cucumber, daikon, and pickling liquid in a medium bowl. Cover and chill at least 24 hours. Drain excess liquid just before serving.

    Step 4

    DO AHEAD: Salad can be made 3 days ahead; keep chilled.
