Ebi Sunomono (Japanese Shrimp Salad)

July 24, 2012 by Liza Agbanlog 22 Comments

ebi sunomono Ebi Sunomono is a Japanese dish consisting of shrimps (ebi) and thinly sliced cucumbers marinated in rice vinegar (su) for several hours.  It has a sweet tangy taste and very refreshing.  This dish is very versatile; you can omit the shrimp if you are not a fan of seafood.  Even just the marinated noodles are good enough for me.

Our family always orders ebi  sunomono  every time we dine at a Japanese restaurant.  For us, eating it is a good and refreshing way to end a full and satisfying meal.

    This was delicious, just like at the restaurant I’d get it from. Followed the instructions exactly and it tasted perfect. Highly recommend, will be making more very soon.

      In the picture I added extra dressing, which is why it looks like a soup. The dressing is made of:
      1 tbsp rice vinegar
      2 tbsp water
      1 tsp sugar

        The recipe and directions say soy but no water. All the comments say water. I already added 1 tsp of soy and it’s all brown. ????

          Yes, you are right, there’s no water in the recipe and directions. If you look at the notes section, there’s a recipe for extra dressing which includes water. As for the rice vinegar-sugar-soy sauce mixture being brown, that’s okay, it will turn less brown when you mix it with the noodles. Hope these help!

    Loved this simple recipe! I added in one thinly sliced lemon to the soaking part cause I like it a little lemony. I also only put it into the fridge for about twenty minutes and it came out perfect for me!

    This looked so delicious, I attempted to make it but mine came out a little to vinegary and I wasn’t sure if I did it correctly cause I didn’t have much liquid. could anyone help ?! I would love to try it again.

      Hi Holly,
      The marinated noodles, if chilled in the refrigerator (especially for a long time) will normally absorb most of the liquid. So what I would do is to put just enough noodles ( 1 serving or 2, depends how much you want) in a bowl and make extra dressing ( 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 1 tsp sugar). You may adjust the proportion according to your taste. So if you don’t want it too vinegary, then add more water and sugar. Put the extra marinated noodles back in the refrigerator and you can have more later (for snack or any time you crave for it). That’s how we do it at my house. Hope this helps 🙂
