Kombu is a wonderful energizer, especially during the summer and in the cold and flu season.
Drop one strip into boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, remove and cut into smaller pieces. Add to 6 cups of water, then add 12 teaspoons of shiro Miso (mild white miso), heat and stir until miso dissolves. Avoid boiling the ingredients. Add cubed tofu (soft is best), spinach or swiss chard cut into thin strips, shiitake mushrooms cut in thin strips and scallions thinly cut including the green part (reserve half for soup garnish). Heat, but do not boil, for about 10 minutes. Servie with a splash of soy sauce for a little extra flavor.
The Kombu has a very mild flavor and best if not overcooked or over softened. Great for vegans and better than chicken soup!
Enjoy !

We got this to make homemade Sushi rice. It does it's job flavoring the rice and you get quite a bit to a package. Thankfully Amazon had this because our Asian supermarket didn't!

Size Name:1 pack|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've recently been making a lot of Japanese-dishes, and many recipes call for Dashi stock. Dashi stock is basically made with kombu seaweed and bonito flakes. There is a big Asian market in town where I knew I could find the bonito flakes easily, but I wasn't too sure about the kombu.
I'm glad I bought this on Amazon, because when I went to the Asian supermarket, they did not have kombu. The price may seem a little high to some, but I'd say it's worth it. The picture Amazon gives the product makes the bag look small, but it's actually a pretty decent size. The pack I got had about 4˝ big pieces of seaweed. You may think that's not a lot to last you very long, but a little bit of this seaweed goes a long way when cooking. The seaweed is nice and thick, so it's sure to add a good amount of flavor to whatever you are cooking it with. Also, the seaweed expands in size when put a piece of it into liquid.
the main purpose of kombu seaweed is to flavor things, like stock, sauces and steamed rice. I'm sure you could eat it, if the pieces were smaller, but there are other types of seaweed out there that are better suited to eating in soups and such.

Thin brittle Kombu; tastes good.
This is thin brittle Kombu seaweed. I like the Eden Foods Kombu more which is thicker and more flavorful; but this Welpac Dashi Kombu seaweed still made good miso soup.
