Instructions

1. Put the dried brown algae (wakame) in a small bowl and pour a little lukewarm water (ratio: 1 part wakame, 2 parts water) over it. It is now swelling.
2. Heat a pan and toast the sesame seeds in it. Be careful, it likes to burn! So always stay at the stove and stir again and again. When it smells pleasant, remove the sesame seeds from the stove and let them cool down.
3. Now peel the carrots and grate them roughly on a grater. Remove the hard outer leaves from the white cabbage, cut out the stalk generously and slice the cabbage into fine strips. Put the vegetables in a large bowl.
4. Now squeeze the lemon, pour the juice and the two soy sauces over the grated vegetables. Peel the garlic and chop or grate as finely as possible. Add this to the bowl along with a dash of maple syrup and the sesame oil.
5. Do not grate the Szechuan pepper with half of the dried or fresh chilli pepper in a mortar too finely. Add the ground spices, the cooled sesame seeds and the well-squeezed wakame and mix the salad vigorously. If necessary, add a little more sugar or soy sauce to taste.
6. Cut the green of the washed spring onions into fine rolls and sprinkle over the salad. Cover and let stand for about 2 - 3 hours. Mix the salad vigorously again before serving.
7. Can be served as a starter with fried shrimp, for example. But it also tastes very good as an accompaniment to an Asian main course.
8. You can of course vary the spiciness depending on your taste and use a little more or less chili. You can also spice up the salad with some fruit, for example pineapple, or raisins.
