I was interested in the topic of seaweed and how to make edible from dry. I reviewed different sites and various tips and chose for myself the most acceptable, and in my opinion, the most useful. (Recipes where it was proposed to boil dry seaweed, and even for 40-50 minutes after boiling, I dismissed as unacceptable, because after cooking useful minerals and there will be a minuscule amount of vitamins).
I present it to you.....
How to cook dry seaweed?
1. Take the seaweed and transfer it to a deep cup. We thoroughly rinse it under running water several times so that the water becomes clean and the sand leaves.
2. After we washed the cabbage, pour it with slightly warm water and leave it to swell. That's what a deep cup is for, because the cabbage will increase one and a half times. Therefore, if you are cooking for four servings, then 100 grams of cabbage will be enough.
3. After 15 minutes, and some cabbage is kept in water longer, you need it again under running water and then we shift the seaweed into a colander so that all the water is glassed.
4. While water is draining from the cabbage, cut the onion into half rings thinly and fry it in vegetable oil until soft. And put out the fire.
5. Add a pinch of red hot ground pepper, ground paprika and finely chopped garlic to the onion. Let the taste of all the spices and garlic unfold. So fry for 2 minutes, stirring constantly over low heat.
6. During the time while we were frying the onion, the water would not have time to drain from the cabbage, so before throwing it into the already fried onion, you need to squeeze it well so that the humidity is as low as possible. Fry it, mixing cabbage and onion well for 5 minutes over medium heat, so that a characteristic hiss is heard. All this time, we periodically stir the seaweed so that the cabbage mixes with us and absorbs the taste of all the spices. At the very end of frying, we add salt to taste, two tablespoons of soy sauce and ground coriander seeds.
You can enjoy.
Another way differs only in the soaking time of cabbage ...
Soak dry seaweed for several hours. Better at night. Soaking time up to 2 hours to 8 hours. Next, cut the algae with scissors, rinse very thoroughly in 3-4 waters so that the sand settles to the bottom, shifting each time into a colander. The last water must be drinkable. It is advisable to rinse even before that with settled water (and not from a chlorinated tap). Put in a colander, let the water drain.
Then add seasonings, oil (linseed, cedar, sesame, pumpkin). To mix everything. That's the whole recipe.
So, the proportions in the dry seaweed recipe are:
Dried seaweed - 100 grams.
seasoning for Korean carrots(mild) 1 teaspoon.
Soy sauce (quality, better Japanese), but not for 20 rubles, sorry - 1-2 tablespoons.
Cedar oil - 1 dessert spoon.
But as always, there are those who cannot stand the taste of seaweed. There is a way out for them: add 1 teaspoon of dried seaweed to ready meals. The taste will be imperceptible, and iodine and phosphorus will be absorbed by the body.
