Ginger syrup: In a pot put all 3 ingredients and bring to boil, cook until
you obtain the right consistency, you can check by having a plate in the
fridge and pouring some of the syrup on the cold plate it will set straight
away giving you the cold consistency of the syrup. Put in a small
squeeze bottle and keep aside. Do not refrigerate.

Note: remember that the syrup will get thicker as it get cold. Don't over
reduce it or it will set hard once cold.

Salmon: Take the salmon fillet and cut 20 even cubes 1cm x 1cm x 1cm.
It has to be perfect cubes. 2 per person. 

To assemble: take the jelly tray out of the fridge and cut 10 square 1cm
x 1cm. set a side on baking paper back in the fridge.
Peel off 20 cucumber rubans and trim them so they can perfectly fit
around the salmon. On top of each salmon cubes put a little dot of
wasabi paste, put the soya jelly square on top of it, wrap the cucumber
ruban around , making sure it is nice and tight. Put each cubes in a
Chinese spoon, add a small amount of Wakame salad on top of each
cubes, drizzle with ginger syrup and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.
