‘Sumiso’ (Vinegared Miso) is the dressing with which I used to eat freshly cooked ‘Konnyaku’ (Konjac) or ‘Octopus’ while I was still living in Japan. My family’s ‘Sumiso’ recipe can be found on this page.
I added more flavour to it for this Salad. Today I used Cucumber and Radish, but you may wish to add crunchy lettuce or other vegetables such as Daikon.
