What are recipes for sea weed, green algae or kelp?

Question

Thanks.

Answer 1

It depends on the type of sea weed, green algae or kelp.

For example, the seaweed that is roasted and pressed into sheets and is known as "nori" or "sushi nori" is used when making sushi.

I use this kind of sea weed cut or torn into pieces and simmered briefly in miso soup or chicken broth.

For the seaweed known as Kombu, it's used as part of the soup base for miso soup.

Kombu Daishi (seaweed stock)
Yield: 3 cups

Ingredients:
1 strip Kombu (3" x 7"), wiped lightly with a damp cloth
3 cups water
15-30 grams bonita flakes (dried tuna flakes found in Asian markets)

To Prepare:
1) Bring kombu in water to a boil, then turn off heat. Optional: remove kombu (save for later use*).
2) Immediately add 1/4 to 1 cup bonita flakes (15 - 30 grams)
3) Bring to a boil, then turn off heat (or for stronger flavor, let simmer for 2-3 minutes). Let stand for 3 minutes, or until flakes settle.
4) Optional: Skim off foam. Filter the daishi through a cloth-lined strainer placed over a saucepan, pressing flakes with the back of a spoon to extract remaining daishi, and save* the flakes.

* Or cut up Kombu into bite-sized pieces and add back in to soup, and leave in the bonita flakes.

You can cook a small, sliced onion in the stock, then add 3/8" diced tofu (soft or silken) or noodles to this (I like the soba -- thin, buckwheat Japanese noodles), and a dash of seven spice red pepper. See recipe below.

Miso Soup with Tofu & Noodles
Yield: 2 cups

Ingredients:
2 cups daishi (stock)
1 portion soba or noodles*
1 onion, small, sliced
4-6 oz. Tofu, cut into 3/8 inch cubes
2 1/2-3 TBS. Miso
1 piece nori, cut up
to taste seven spice red pepper

To Prepare:
1) Cook a portion of soba in salted water. Rinse in cold water to stop cooking.
2) Combine 2 cups daishi with 1 small, thinly sliced onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes.
3) Cut tofu into 3/8 inch cubes.
4) Place 2 1/2 - 3 TBS. miso in a small cup, cream with about 1/2 cup of cooking broth (or hot water) and add to soup.
5) Stir soup lightly, add tofu and soba noodles and return just to a boil. Remove from heat.
6) Season with a dash of seven spice red pepper stir, add nori seaweed and serve immediately.

The nori, bonita flakes, kombu, seven spice red pepper and soba I find in my Asian markets.
