Potato and Crab Sunomono Salad is a refreshing Japanese salad made with thinly sliced potatoes, cucumber, and crabmeat. This salad is a great way to enjoy potato and crabmeat together. This recipe is great for those who do not want to eat a salad that is based on leafy greens. The salad is dressed with a sweet and sour dressing made from rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and soy sauce, with the potatoes serving as the perfect blank canvas to soak up all the flavors.

3.	Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes then whisk in soy sauce.
4.	Arrange sliced potatoes, crabmeat and cucumber in a large bowl.
