Okay, all my newfound vegetarian friends, I have a question (or two, or three...) I'd like to eat more sea vegetables. Does anyone have any yummy recipes using them? Also, where to purchase them? I know Whole Foods carries some different types, but where else might they be available? The closest I've come so far is in cracker form. I do like the taste, so figure I'll like most recipes, as well. Help!

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I order mine online from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables. I LOVE their smoked dulse! I also like their sea seasonings and the kelp crunch and sea chips are wonderful snacks. Jo-Ann TN _____ On Behalf Of Kerry Thursday, May 08, 2008 1:55 PM sea vegetables?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 HI, I posted this on another group a couple years back... I make this using Kombu (Kelp). I use maybe a foot to 1 1/2 or so of one of the big leaves (4-6 " wide). put the leaves (cut into a couple pieces if needed to fit into pot) into a big 'ol pot of water, heat until it reaches a simmer and take it out. I then cut the leaves in half along the length of them and the into about 1/8 " strips widthwise. Try not to overcook. Add to soup in place of wakame and follow recipe normally. It ends up having a great texture, almost like strips of carrot with a little crunch. I also sub either wakame or Hijiki for the dulse (just toss in a handful) I prefer the Hijiki, but it's more expensive. Take Care! Paul Q *Shiitake Mushroom Seaweed Soup* This is one of those good tasting recipes that you will want to make regularly. The combination of all the sea vegetables and shiitake mushrooms makes this incredibly nutritious giving your body a great dose of minerals in a delicious and easy way. Prep and Cook Time: 30 minutes 6 whole dried medium shiitake mushrooms 6 cups warm water 4 medium sized pieces wakame seaweed 2 TBS chopped dulse seaweed 1 medium onion, quartered and sliced thin 3 medium cloves garlic, chopped 2 TBS minced fresh ginger 2 TBS dry vegetable stock powder 2 TBS soy sauce 1 TBS rice vinegar 3 TBS minced scallion greens for garnish salt and white pepper to taste Rinse mushrooms and wakame and soak in 2 cups of warm water for about 10 minutes, or until soft. Save water. Heat 1 TBS seaweed water in medium sized soup pot. Healthy Sauté onion in seaweed water over medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Add garlic, ginger and continue to sauté for another minute When mushrooms and wakame are soft, slice the mushrooms thin and chop the seaweed. Cut out stems when slicing mushrooms and discard. Add to soup pot along with soaking water, and 4 more cups of water. Bring to a boil on high heat. Add dulse. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Add minced scallion and serve. recipe source: http://worldshealthiestfoods.com <http://worldshealthiestfoods.com> Kerry wrote: > > > Okay, all my newfound vegetarian friends, I have a question (or two, or > three...) > > I'd like to eat more sea vegetables.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 What do you do with the nori sushi wraps? Can I shred it and add to meals as the " green " ?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Cut it up with kitchen scissors and top on your rice or salad. Use as a wrap. I have a sushi rice recipe in the Asian recipe folder so you can make sushi wraps. I fold in 8th's and eat as they are sometimes. Watch out they will stick to the roof of your mouth that way, try to be lady like and deal with that hahahaha.
