A Taste of Japanese Seaweed
The vegetables I'm concentrating on here are yummy Japanese seaweed, which are also known to be great for keeping your hair healthy and for detoxing!
These Japanese seaweeds are rich in minerals, and I'm not just talking iron and calcium. There are a lot more minerals that are taken in when we eat Japanese seaweed!
I love Japanese seaweed dishes!
Add nori to:
- soups (like miso soup)
- moistened for salads
- bread, as in laver bread
- if you toast it lightly in a skillet or pop it in the oven, you've got your own seaweed snack
- and ofcourse, wrapped up with rice and your favorite fish and vegetables in sushi, futo maki or California rolls
So you love sushi and nori
Why not buy these souvenirs and tell the world!

Ingredients And Procedures
4 cups dry white (navy) beans 1 oz hijiki sea vegetable 2 cups cooked rice 1 small red cabbage, diced small 2 tbs balsamic vinegar tamari sauce to taste
Cook beans until tender, add hijiki towards end of cooking process (so it won't fall apart), saute diced red cabbage in vinegar and water until tender. Mix beans, rice and red cabbage. Add tamari sauce to taste. Let sit a few minutes so flavors will blend. Looks like veg-scrapple, but tastes pretty good. It is good without the tamari, sort of sweet and vinegary.

- Being Korean, I grew up with seaweed being a staple of our meals. I prefer mine in the thin sheets, toasted over a flame or in a pan, then brushed with sesame oil and salted, then you enjoy with rice. Hooray for seaweed! lol

- I've never tried Japanese seaweed before but now I want to! When I eat at Japanese restaurants I usually get teriyaki chicken and gyoza but it wouldn't hurt me to branch out a bit.
