Jun Cut Wakame (Dried Seaweed) 50g — dried, pre-cut wakame that rehydrates in about two minutes in hot water, opening into soft green ribbons. A 50 g bag is about ten servings, and a level teaspoon of the dry flakes is roughly a gram — enough to finish a bowl of miso soup. It keeps in the pantry, so there is always seaweed on hand.
About Jun
Jun is the house label of Jun Pacific, which has supplied Japanese foods to supermarkets and restaurants across Australia since 1976 and runs the Tokyo Mart and Fuji Mart stores.
What wakame is
Wakame (わかめ) is a soft-textured edible seaweed used throughout Japanese cooking — most familiar floating in miso soup, but equally at home in vinegared salads and simmered dishes. "Cut" wakame is dried and pre-cut into small pieces, so it needs no chopping and goes straight from the bag into water.
How to use & enjoy
Rehydrate in hot water for about 2 minutes, or in cold water for about 5 minutes. One teaspoon of dry wakame is roughly 1 g. The pack suggests these amounts:
-
Miso soup & clear soup — 1 g, added dry just before you turn off the heat
-
Ramen & udon — 1 g, added dry just before you turn off the heat
-
Salad & sunomono — 2 g, rehydrated in hot or cold water first
-
Aemono (dressed dishes) — 3 g, rehydrated first
-
Nimono (simmered dishes) — 2 g, added dry before the other ingredients finish cooking, then simmered about 5 minutes
-
Tempura — 1.5 g, rehydrated and drained well
