Step 1
Pour 1 cup water into a small bowl. Add wakame and let soak until tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Halve the cucumber lengthwise, then slice crosswise into thin half-moons about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 3
Drain wakame well in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing gently to remove excess water.
Step 4
Whisk rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a large bowl until combined.
Step 5
Add wakame and cucumber to the dressing. Toss gently until evenly coated, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Divide among bowls. Sprinkle sesame seeds over top and serve immediately.
