Recipe notes

Wakame is an edible seaweed much prized in Japanese cuisine. It is often used in soups, salads and rice dishes. Native to the cold waters off the coasts of Japan, Korea and China, wakame is prized for its slightly crunchy texture and mild, iodized taste. As well as being tasty, wakame is rich in nutrients: it's an excellent source of vitamins (A, C, E, K), minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron) and dietary fiber.

Wakame's ability to thrive in a variety of marine conditions has led to its dispersal to various parts of the world, sometimes even invasively. For example, wakame was accidentally introduced to the coasts of California and Europe, where it quickly became naturalized.

In addition to its culinary qualities, wakame has traditionally been used in Asian medicine for its health benefits, including detoxification, reducing hypertension and improving skin health. Regular consumption is also associated with weight management benefits, thanks to its low calorie content and ability to promote satiety.
