Steps:
- Place the wakame in a large bowl and cover with the water, adding more if needed to keep wakame submerged. Soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Line a colander with a clean kitchen towel and have it standing by.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk 1 1/2 tablespoons of the rice wine vinegar with the soy sauce, ginger, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Whisk constantly while drizzling in the sesame oil to form an emulsion.
- When the wakame is hydrated, drain thoroughly through the prepared colander. Gather up the sides of the towel to form a pouch, then twist the towel to wring out additional water. Dry the large bowl and return the wakame to it. Top with the dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until the seaweed is cold and the dressing has been absorbed, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, peel and dice the avocado into small cubes measuring between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch. Toss in a small bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of rice wine vinegar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in the carrot and radishes, then fold this mixture gently into the wakame and serve.
BROWN RICE AND SEAWEED SALAD
There is nothing like a brown rice and seaweed salad for setting the scene for a more virtuous-feeling new year. Brown rice just seems righteous and pure, and I somehow believe that eating it makes me a better person. And just the word "seaweed" is promising: It may sound like the culinary equivalent of a hair shirt, but imagine this hair shirt lined with cashmere, so delicious and flavorsome is this salad. There is not the faintest whiff of penance about it.

Steps:
- Soak seaweed in a bowl of cold water until re-hydrated, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add onion and sauté until slightly golden and translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Drain seaweed, squeezing out water, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar and tamari. Whisk until blended. Add onion and rice, and toss with two forks to dress well.
- Add seaweed to rice mixture and toss well. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
