Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Paul Q THank you very much. I really enjoy cooking with sea veggies. I think I should pull all the recipes out of the files and put in their own folder. I'll do that later when I have free time. This sounds wonderful!
