How to soak kelp quickly

First, the dried kelp we bought from the market is basically in bundles. After we untie the rope, we should shake off the salt, sand and other impurities on the kelp. We must not use force to avoid breaking the kelp. Shake off the salt and sand on the kelp, and you can enter the foaming stage!

Second, next, we prepare a pot of warm water, and then we tear the kelp into small pieces and soak it in warm water. Tearing into small pieces can speed up the soaking time of kelp and make it easier to clean. Tear it into small pieces and put it in clean water.

Third, we add a proper amount of white vinegar to the clean water. White vinegar can make the mucus on kelp come out and make kelp clean. Next, we rub it by hand to make the salt and sand on the surface of kelp fall off more easily. Just a few times, the water inside has become turbid. If there is rice washing water at home, try to soak it in rice washing water, because the effect of soaking it in rice washing water is better than warm water.

Next, we soaked for about two hours, and the salt and sand in it had floated up. We need to change a pot of clean water and then clean it, and continue to rub it repeatedly by hand. Because there are many impurities on kelp, you must clean it several times.

But don't use too much force when scrubbing, so as not to crush the kelp. The kelp washed out in this way is very clean and will not feel sticky to the touch. After the kelp is washed and soaked, we can cook.
