- 1/4 cup lightly crumbled wakame seaweed
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds

- 1/2 pound extra-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 pound frozen shelled edamame, thawed, rinsed and patted dry
- 1/4 pound mung bean sprouts, both ends trimmed
- In a heatproof bowl, cover the wakame with the boiling water and let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain the wakame and press to remove any excess water.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk the rice vinegar with the soy sauce and ginger. Whisk in the peanut and sesame oils. Season with salt and cayenne.
