Dried Kombu filaments are a unique variety of seaweed popular in Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine. Kombu has the umami flavour distinctive to dried seaweed but is less salty with a more gentle, mushroom-like flavour and sweet aroma, which makes it ideal for flavouring light soups and ramen broths.
Soak these dried kombu filaments in boiled water to make a rich dashi stock to add to soups, hot pots and ramen broths. The rehydrated ribbons can also be used to add chewy and satisfying texture to dishes such as miso soup, or as a sushi accompaniment.Â
Kombu had a white residue on the surface, which does not need to be rinsed as it contains much of the flavour.Â
Usage: Rehydrate the filaments in 30 times their volume in water. 10g of dried kombu equals 75g of rehydrated seaweed. Â
