My husband is in a Paleo Diet, where no carbs are allowed. I was looking for alternatives for filler and side dishes. This information is wonderful,gave me so many choices, I’ve never even thought of seaweed as an ingredient.
Thank you!

Using Agar-agar is our family’s way of not only making much healthier jelly for our kids, but also cheaper then to buy the jelly at the store. My children without a dout will ALWAYS ask for PB&J for lunch everyday. So we make our own jelly to cut out the sugar and preservitives found in store bought jelly. The easiest way (but not the healthiest) to make jelly with agar is to let it soak for about 15 minutes (1/4oz agar to 1 & 1/4 cup of water) then boil it, turn it down to a simmer until flakes are dissolved. Then add in your favorite juice 1 & 1/4 cups worth. Pour into a mold like a jar or container set aside to cool, then refridgerate until its set. We like to puree our fruits for jelly though, but juice is another way too.

Trader Joe’s just started carrying something called “roasted seaweed snacks” — the box is filled with a stack of paper-thin, crispy,crunchy, salty, flat greenish-black squares of seaweed, and I am completely addicted. The first time I saw them, I bought one box. After eating that box, I went back and got 5 boxes. After finishing those over the next two days, I went back and bought TEN boxes, and four days later, I returned to TJ’s, and they were gone. Completely gone. They said even their warehouse was out, so ALL the TJ’s were out of the stuff. Ohhhhh I miss them SO MUCH! 99 cents a box and only 2 carbs per serving — the Magic Food! Now I’m trying to figure out where else I can find these things — maybe they’re your roasted nori snacks? I sure hope so!

Hi, It was a very informative topic. I am Japanese and we have been eating these marine things forever, but it’s fun to see how we can cook them differently.

If your wakame has ocean smell, try to wash them in a bowl filled with water, then drain it. If you repeat this a few times, I think the smell will go away. Of you might want to use “Yuzu, the asian citrus” dressing if you are putting the wakame in your salad. The flavor of yuzu will let you forget the smell of wakame.
