Assorted Seaweed Salad [Korean Food] – 해초샐러드 – Ready-to-Eat Salad Kit, 7 Kinds of Seaweed, Korean Side Dishes Made Easy [Salad Mix] 7 Bags

Easy to prepare and absolutely delicious!

I'm a corn fed Ohioan who converted to Zen Buddhism 50 years ago and adopted many Asian cultural delights, especially the healthy ones. I have gathered fresh seaweed in the Pacific Northwest but this is a great little salad with surprisingly fresh taste, tenderness, aroma and variety. In a sushi bar this salad would cost you $6 or more and they only add a tablespoon of rice vinegar or mirin, a pinch of sugar and a dash of toasted sesame oil or toasted sesame seed.I'll try adding a few small shrimp or scallops to it for a more complete salad. You can use this to top hot ramen noodles but it needs no cooking so don't even think about it! Try on a serving of hot rice w/soy sauce. If you need more seaweed per dollar to satisfy your curiosity, try a pack of dried wakame from US suppliers, it is just as good as from Asian importers. It is also practically instant and needs no cooking.A lot of skill and knowledge went into formulating this instant salad. Koreans know their seaweed!

Its seaweed ,chewy,unusual,suppose to be good for you.It doesn't taste exactly like the seaweed you get at an Asian restaurant.

First of all, let me say I am rating this product for what it is not what it isn’t. What I mean by that is that it is not a fresh seaweed salad, it is a dried product that must be rehydrated. So you cannot expect it to be as good as a fresh seaweed salad that you might get at a Japanese restaurant, that said, it is a wonderful product and very needed at least in my opinion. I love seaweed salad and since I cannot afford going out to eat all the time I miss seaweed salad in my life so I was very excited to find this product, Plus since it is a dried product it is useful because I can put it in the cupboard and not have to eat it instantly as I am the only one in my house that enjoys seaweed salad. I believe it takes longer to rehydrate than the directions say but this is not a big deal. Once it is rehydrated there is a variety of different sea vegetables and can be eaten just like that with a little dressing or soy sauce, alternatively it is very tasty with added land vegetables such as micro greens or grated beets and ginger. While I would generally prefer fresh seaweed salad, I like that this is a dried product because I have it around whenever I get a craving. So if you are comparing it to a fresh seaweed salad it is not as good however if you are reading this as a dried product that must be rehydrated it is fabulous has good flavor and I’ll definitely give it five stars. This will now be a pantry staple in my house.

I will give you a few pointers with this product. It makes wonderful seaweed salad. And it's very cost-effective. However I would tweak the instructions slightly to make seaweed salad. The seaweed expands almost five times to the size it is. I suggest cutting it while it is still hard with or chopping it with some scissors while it's still in the packet then what I like to do is put it in a cup and a half of boiling water and then add about two tablespoons of seasoned rice vinegar and then cook it for 5 minutes on a low rolling boil and then it comes out really wonderful and then after it is reconstituted you can chop it a little bit. And then I just follow a basic recipe for a dressing and that can be whatever you like on your seaweed salad.

I am a Korean mom who is borderline obsessed with eating fresh seaweed salad (with spicy pepper/vinegar mix sauce) every dinner. When I first found this authentic Korean seaweed mix product yrs ago, I was over the moon. But then suddenly this Summer, the company decided to change the package entirely (probably due to critical reviews regarding the previous plastic pack) into this fancy blue card boarded box. When I first got it, I had to recheck the name because I thought I received a completely different product.*UPDATE YOUR PRODUCT PICTURE!!*Enough with the packaging update that I really don't care much, but the company decided to downgrade the dried seaweed mix varieties (less wakame, more other slimy cheap filler seaweeds) and quality of seaweeds. It was so slimy and sticky that I couldn't eat them.Due to its new fancier packaging up-cost, I believe they had to downgrade the quality of their products. I've ordered this product 25 times! (See the pic) But sadly, I had to cancel my subscription immediately and my quest for a perfect fresh healthy seaweed mix from Korea starts all over again.. I am so disappointed! >.<

I really enjoy seaweed chips, and so I thought my palate was refined enough to eat this nutritious seaweed salad. It’s sadly too reminiscent of the time I nearly drowned in the ocean. The texture is slightly off-putting to me as well. I’m considering blending it into a soup, so I don’t waste it. Maybe with something spicy to cover the brine flavor.

I have tried the brand, kaneyama seaweed flower salad and I decided to give this brand a try as well. Kaneyama had a yellow colored flower seaweed, but soo little and small that I don't really notice that this brand didn't have it. Also, Kaneyama had a lot more pieces of wakame seaweed added, more than I would of liked.I feel, I like this brand more than Kaneyama. This one had more red colored flower seaweed. It looked better visually and it had a better textures to it. The pieces of wakame are smaller and less of it, which i liked. You only need to add a little water and watch the vibrant, rich colors come alive, soo yummy with different textures. The individual packaging is smaller than Kaneyama and i do feel it is a bit pricey but I love it. Some people are mentioning about the lead and stuff but i am asian and lots of asians do eat alot of different forms of seaweed and i think it has not affected there health and my thoughts is that I consider it to be safe for consumption.
