Otogi Dried Seaweed Wakame 100g

Miyeok (미역), known as wakame, is an edible Korean seaweed widely used in soups and side dishes. This dried seaweed from Otogi has a subtly sweet, umami flavour and a satisfyingly silky yet slightly chewy texture once rehydrated. It is an essential ingredient for making the classic Korean birthday dish, miyeok-guk (seaweed soup), but it is also versatile enough for everyday meals. To prepare, simply soak the dried seaweed in cold water for 5-10 minutes until it expands and softens, then drain and rinse before adding to your recipe. Beyond soups, the rehydrated seaweed is excellent in cold salads with a vinegar-based dressing or as a simple side dish (banchan) seasoned with sesame oil and salt. This product is a staple in any Korean pantry, valued for its nutritional content and deep, savoury taste. Contains no major allergens.
