SEA WEED SALAD

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what seaweed they use to make seaweed salad. There seems to be a lot of types out there, and I personally am looking for the sort they use at YO Sushi. Very thin, and neutral in taste ; ) - But not toasted though. Any great recipies are also welcome!

Thanks!

What I like to do is take some romaine lettuce and lay it on the nori sheet before filling it with goodies. I use julienned (thinly sliced) cucumber, carrots, bell peppers, and anything else you like. Add some avocado then pile on the sprouts. Roll it up as tight as you can and slice. The reason I put the romaine down is that it helps to keep the nori sheet from getting soggy.

Sometimes I use cauliflower that has chopped in the food processor and use that as a "rice". Others use a pate to spread which adds a bit of protein to it.

Just make what most appeals to you.
Take care and be well.; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks for your tip though, sounds lovely! ; ); ▶ Reply to This

The one I think you are looking for is the tiny thin one and it is called Hijiki.; ▶ Reply to This

That sounds like fun.. There is a thing called double dutch where two girls hold two ropes and you have to jump them both at the same time.. maybe you could find a couple of girls to try this with you. It's pretty impressive when you see it..
