1, Taomi water: Add kelp to Taomi water for soaking, so that the soaked kelp is easy to soften whether it is washed or stewed.

2, the principle of moderation: when cooking kelp, use chopsticks to clamp a piece of kelp. If it softens, take out the remaining kelp. Kelp is boiled for too long, so it will harden easily.

3, adding alkali: After the kelp is cooked, you can add some edible alkali or baking soda appropriately, which will make the kelp softer, more fragrant and more delicious.

4. Adding vinegar: When cooking kelp, white vinegar can be added appropriately, which can not only remove the unique fishy smell of kelp, but also make kelp easier to soften after cooking.

5. Dry steaming: put the dried kelp in a steamer for about half an hour, then soak it in clear water for about one night, and then boil it. It softens easily and tastes delicious.

6, boiling water: use kelp when cooking soup. You can scald the kelp with boiling water first, and the soup will be more delicious after the fishy smell is removed.
