Frozen Salted Seaweed

Wakame can be eaten raw or cooked, and it can easily be added to miso soups, salads, and noodles. Since fresh salted wakame has already been blanched in hot water before having had the salt added (for preservation), there is no need to cook it, simply add it to your dish after rinsing off the salt (think of fresh wakame as a substitute for leafy greens). The salt is for preservation only, not for consumption. Do not soak it in water for more than five minutes, as the seaweed will absorb too much water and will lose its texture
