Dried Seaweed
(Hai Dai, Kombu, or Kunbu) |

Seaweed draws an extraordinary wealth of
mineral elements from the sea that can account for up to 36% of its dry mass.
They are widely used in everyday Chinese cooking
because of their nutritional and medical value.
There are two types of seaweeds common in Chinese and Asian cooking: Zi Cai
and Hai Dai (both Chinese names).
Zi Cai
The Chinese name Zicai (Nori in Japanese) means
purple vegetable. This black, pungent, dried seaweed has a crinkly appearance
and round cake shape, making it perfect for crumbling into Chinese soups and
stocks, infusing an instant taste of the sea. Versatile, it can be adapted to a
myriad of preparations, such as rice dishes or poached fish. It is also used to
wrap sushi and for making numerous snacks in Japanese cuisine.
Hai Dai
Hai Dai means Sea Strip because of its shape. It's generally associated with
having cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects.
The common food item is the low cost but highly
nutritious kelp (kunbu in Chinese; kombu in Japanese).
