Content: Wakame is deep green in color; it is occasionally referred to as "sea mustard," likely because it resembles mustard greens when cooked, but not because of its mild flavor, which is unlike the peppery vegetable. It's available in two forms: dried, which is most common, and salted. The salted variety is sold refrigerated in a sealed package. Wakame vs. Nori
Wakame is different from nori, which is the type of dried seaweed used in making sushi. Nori comes in flat, dried sheets, whereas dried wakame usually comes in the form of strips that are somewhat shriveled up, a little bit like raisins from the sea. Dried wakame needs to be soaked before using it, whereas nori is usually toasted before the assemblage of sushi rolls, or onigiri . Wakame Uses
Wakame needs to be reconstituted before using it. Simply place the seaweed in a bowl and cover it with warm water for a few minutes.
