    Japanese Sea Vegetable Salad with Noodles

    Published: Jul 13, 2020 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    This Japanese Sea Vegetable Salad with Noodles recipe contrasts colorful carrots and parsley against black arame and white noodles. Rich in calcium and quick to make, this salad is also remarkably beautiful. Contributed by Leslie Cerier, adapted from Going Wild in the Kitchen.*

    Japanese Sea Vegetable Salad with Noodles

    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup dried arame
    • 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
    • 4 cups parsley, coarsely chopped
    • 1 ½ cups carrots, julienned
    • ¼ cup lovage leaves or celery, coarsely chopped
    • ¼ cup chives, including blossoms, coarsely chopped
    • 1 (5.3 oz) package bifun noodles, or 3 cups cooked udon noodles
    • 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
    • 3 tbsp umeboshi vinegar
    • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
    • 6 oz baked or smoked tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, cover the arame with water and soak for five to seven minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to the bowl. Discard the soaking water, save it for soup stock, or use to water plants.
    2. Add the cabbage, parsley, carrots, lovage, and chives to the arame. Mix gently and set aside.
    3. Cook the noodles according to package directions, rinse in cold water, and drain.
    4. Add the noodles to the vegetables along with the oil, umeboshi vinegar, and rice vinegar. Toss well. Adjust the seasonings if desired.
    5. Garnish with tofu and serve.
    For a change…
    • Replace bifun or udon noodles with soba noodles or angel hair pasta.
    • Instead of green cabbage, use snow peas, snap peas, or a combination of red and green cabbage. Steamed vegetables—such as beets, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans—are other good choices.
