1. Soak dried wakame:
If using dried wakame, place it in a bowl and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 5-10 minutes until it expands and becomes tender.
2. Drain and rinse:
Once the wakame has rehydrated, drain the water and rinse it to remove excess salt.
3. Use in dishes:
After preparation, you can add the wakame to soups (like miso soup), salads, or sushi. It’s ready to use once rehydrated and can be chopped or left in strips depending on your dish.
