Instructions
- 1
Slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible — ideally 1/16 inch — using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the slices in a colander set over a bowl, toss with 1 tsp kosher salt, and let stand for 10 minutes until the cucumbers have released their liquid and softened slightly.

If using wakame, place it in a small bowl, cover with cold water, and soak for 5 minutes until rehydrated and tender. Drain, squeeze out excess water, and set aside.
