Notes

Sunomono is often served as a side dish or appetizer. Depending on the region, it may include rice noodles and a cucumber topping. In the United States, it's served as a vegan side dish with steamed white rice. Traditionally, it's made with Japanese cucumbers. The Japanese also add wakame. If you're into vegetarian cooking, sunomono is a delicious option.
