What kind of seaweed is used in seaweed salad? that you get from asain restaurants?!
Answers: The ones you get from the bottom of your pool
From the sea to your table, kelp!!!
Commonly in Japan they use Wakame or Hijiki a fine hair like one, fresh is preferable, but you can find dired and soak it in warm water and rehydrating it. Kombu is for flavouring soup, it is to tough and string for salad.
