How to Cook Dried Seaweed (Iodine-Rich Salad)

Make a zesty, iodine-packed salad! Not many people know how to turn dried seaweed into something delicious — and that's a shame, because it's both tasty and incredibly good for you. When it comes to iodine, seaweed is in a league of its own, and remarkably, no amount of cooking diminishes that content. Dried seaweed is just as nutritious as any other form. This salad looks appetizing and tastes wonderfully piquant, which makes it an easy pick — perfect for a celebration table or an everyday meal alike.

    1. Pour the water into a small saucepan, salt it, and bring to a boil. Add the brown rice and stir. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 40 minutes, until all the water is absorbed. Leave the cooked rice covered. 2. Put the dried seaweed in a bowl, cover with warm water, and let it sit for 15 minutes to rehydrate, then drain off the remaining water. 3. Now make the dressing. Combine the sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice in a bowl. Add a sweetener — maple syrup or liquid honey. Peel and finely grate a small piece of ginger; do the same with the garlic. Stir the ginger-garlic paste into the dressing, season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix. 4. Rinse the bell pepper, remove the seeds and stem, and cut it into strips. Rinse the green onion and cut it on the bias into not-too-small pieces. In a deep salad bowl, combine the rice, seaweed, pepper, and onion. 5. Pour the dressing over everything, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and toss. The salad can be served right away, though it's just as good the next day. Serve it in a shared bowl or in individual portions — on a celebration table, a bed of lettuce makes a beautiful base. Enjoy, and to your health!
