I was driving on Keeamoku Street today and noticed this place looked abandoned with a “for sale” sign posted.

My suspicion was confirmed here. Another venerable establishment gone. Sigh.

Cucumber Wakame Salad

One of the dishes made at the Ronald McDonald House (see 24 April 2011 post) was cucumber wakame salad. The dish was inspired from Japanese style namasu (vegetables with rice vinegar dressing).

Since The Cat couldn’t attend that night, I made a small portion for her dinner last night.

One cucumber, sugar and salt, reconstituted wakame seaweed, rice vinegar, and ground sesame seeds. Except for the cucumber, everything else is to taste. Without the wakame, the sugar and salt ratio is approximately two to one. since the wakame naturally a salty taste, I cut the salt significantly.

The Cat was happy. 🙂

If you need a recipe, here’s one that’s easy to follow. Instead of English cucumber, I used a Japanese cucumber. Plus, I didn’t seed the cucumber. I think the seeds in the Japanese cucumber is easier to eat than the English variety (just my opinion).

Enjoy.
