I have to buy Kelp as its rich in Iodine. Can you please share what should we tell in shop to buy kelp in Korea. Is kelp just one specific weed or is a general name and there are lots of types of Kelp.
I live in Seoul and vegetarian and somehow unable to find Iodised Salt as we get in India. So need something else which is rich in Iodine and thus Kelp appears good being vegetarian.
Thanks
Kris

Hi Kris,
You can ask for “다시마” in Koreans.
Hope you can get ingredients for your Iodine. Thanks. ^^

I purchased Assi Brand Dried cut Seaweed, but don’t know how to prepare it, nor how to store it and how long does it last??? Thank you
Aeri Lee says
hi Rosemary,
I keep my dried seaweed in my kitchen pantry or cabinet. Just seal the package well and keep in room temperature. I will last for over a year. Thanks ^^

Hi Aeri
This particular seaweed is round shape, the size of a lunch plate.
I have tried your recipe dried seaweed muchim and dried kim muchim – both use simple ingredients but very tasty. I eat them with ‘cauliflower rice’.
This is one of the best way to eat more of this particular type of seaweed cos I only normally add it to soups.
Tq again for the great recipes.
Aeri Lee says
hi ymase,
Thank you for trying my recipes. 🙂 I’m so glad to hear that you liked them. hehe
Lydia says
I bought a big package of “round shaped dried seaweed”
Can I put it in soups? Like miso soup? Is it the same thing as the seaweed in miso soup?
AeriLee says
hi Lydia,
I’m sorry..but I’m not quite sure what you bought.. since you said.. round shaped dried seaweed.. if I could see your dried seaweed picture, I could answer more accurately..
