Re: how do you make seaweed salad?

Hi!

I think I know what you mean by this seaweed salad. According to some it is of Chinese origin, or a Chinese interpretation of seaweed salad, and it is called “chuka wakame” that contains a lot more ingredients besides seaweed. The translucent pieces you talk about is probably agar. Perhaps these websites are useful:

By the way, I am a great fan of this website, and it has already given me tons of information on Korean cooking. Keep up the good work Maangchi!!!!
