I'll definitely be grabbing some next time I go to the Asian grocery store. As long as I can remember... Haha! Usually we just run in for sushi ingredients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485732 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 17:22:08 +0000 tofuwad 2485732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I love that stuff too in restaurants too! Nori is a different product so you'd need to buy wakame. But wakame is available at any Asian market and at Whole Foods (it'll be way cheaper at an Asian market). You buy it dehydrated. But the kinds at sushi restaurants will have sugar added and other sea vegetables like dulse, hijiki, and agar agar strands (I think this is also usually dyed green in seaweed salad?? But I'm not positive).</p> <p>So if you wanted one that's just like the kinds in a restaurant you'd need to add sugar to the recipe and find the other ingredients too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485721 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 16:53:07 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2485721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tofuwad: I am addicted to that at sushi restaurants. Do you have to buy that type of seaweed or can you soak the sheets you would use for making sushi? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485703 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 16:10:50 +0000 Mrs Panda 2485703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: ah, we don't have a Costco membership, alas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485575 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 11:35:52 +0000 gingerbebe 2485575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a Costco? Usually in the sushi prepared food section they have a big bucket of marinated seaweed salad they sell - it's the sweet and tangy sesame kind you get at Japanese restaurants. You can eat that a cold side dish with grilled fish or teriyaki chicken and warm rice. Or you can chop it up and add to Chinese chicken salad or Asian-y soba or pasta salad. I also see the cucumber salad from Japanese restaurants often mixed in with the same kind of seaweed in miso soup. I think that's wakame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485554 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 10:25:16 +0000 Mrs Panda 2485554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: thanks! My kids love the Japanese version but DH doesn't like miso, so this might be a good alternative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485478 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 02:40:36 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2485478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Korean seaweed soup! So so delicious and a great way to get in lots of seaweed. My kids love it their rice soaked in this soup. <a href="http://www.koreanbapsang.com/2013/12/miyeok-guk-beef-seaweed-soup.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.koreanbapsang.com/2013/12/miyeok-guk-beef-seaweed-soup.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485468 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 01:20:15 +0000 Mrs Panda 2485468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: thanks!<br /> @tofuwad: yum, that sounds so good - I'll give it a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485462 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 01:04:28 +0000 tofuwad 2485462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually gorge myself on wakame salad. I typically just rinse the wakame and then soak in water for 10-20 minutes. Drain and squeeze out the excess water. Then make a simple dressing out of rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame seeds, and sesame oil. If I'm feeling fancy I'll add some Persian cucumbers, grated Asian pear, and/or maybe some lime or grated fresh ginger. I will eat it with rice and Korean beef. Or sometimes just eat an entire giant bowl for lunch and then worry that I'm going to OD on iodine. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485441 Sun, 06 Mar 2016 00:13:08 +0000 MoonMoon 2485441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Panda: look for packs of kombu in the grocery by the other seaweed packets, or in an Asian grocery! You can also order it online. A little goes a long way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485440 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 23:59:31 +0000 Mrs Panda 2485440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: thanks! Where do you buy your kelp? I haven't been able to find it - only nori and wakame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485433 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 23:39:19 +0000 Adisho 2485433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485425 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 23:22:42 +0000 MoonMoon 2485425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO loves eating white rice with toasted nori, or making veggie maki rolls with nori. We also keep some furikake seasoning (nori flakes, sesame seeds, sometimes salt and sugar) to sprinkle on rice and veggies. I also put some kelp in the pot if I'm cooking beans, and put dulse on salads sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-eat-seaweed#post-2485421 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 23:16:13 +0000 Mrs Panda 2485421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for suggestions and recipes for incorporating seaweed into meals. My kids love it and I feel like I should take advantage of that, especially since it's so nutritious. The only way I know how to cook it is in miso soup with little tofu cubes. Any other suggestions? </p>
