(Recipe) Fresh Seaweed wok dish with pak choi and cucumber

In this recipe, we used a mix of seaweed consisting of wakame, kombu, and two types of red algae. For this recipe, we used dried seaweed. If you are using fresh seaweed, replace the 10 grams of dry seaweed with 100 grams of fresh seaweed.

Seaweed is best eaten in small quantities so that you do not ingest too much iodine.

½ cucumber
1 pak choi
juice of ½ lime
1 tablespoon fish sauce

Stir-fry the pak choi along with the cucumber over high heat for about 5 minutes until al dente. Halfway through, add the lime juice, fish sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Drain the seaweed and add the soaked seaweed to the pan. Stir everything one last time and the dish is ready. Garnish with sesame seeds.
