Ogo is a type of Hawaiian seaweed also called limu in Hawiian. On Hawai'i Island the ogo is farm raised using salt water pumped in from 2,000 feet below the surface.
Ogo is extremely resilient so it holds it's crunch in this salad even after soaking a month. Sweet onions, fresh garlic, and sesame seeds help modulate the flavors in this recipe. Of course seaweed is such a healthy food and this recipe pairs well with a lot of other types of Hawaiian dishes. A favorite staple in my home. Like a lot of my favorite recipes, this one is simple to prepare. Enjoy! -chef Ellard
