Packaged seaweed does not need to be washed. Many people wonder whether to wash seaweed mainly because there may be fine sand in the seaweed. In fact, many seaweed packages are actually printed with a sand-free logo, but everyone will inevitably encounter the situation that there is sand in the seaweed. So how to remove the sand in the seaweed? About removing the sand in the seaweed.

First, we can lightly roast the seaweed in a microwave oven for a few minutes on low heat. After the seaweed is warm and soft, we can then gently tap off the fine sand in the seaweed.

Then, get a steamer or rice cooker and steam out the water inside. Then unpack the seaweed, put it into the pot, and keep turning the seaweed, but remember to be gentle, otherwise it will destroy the integrity of the seaweed. Repeat this for 20 seconds. In this way, even if there is sand, it will remain at the bottom of the pot. If you tap the seaweed with your hands, the sand in the seaweed will fall out. After this process, the cooked seaweed will taste better.

If you feel that the above method is too cumbersome, there is a simple method for you.

1. Divide a piece of seaweed into several layers according to your requirements.

2. Put the seaweed into a colander. It is best to choose an iron colander, preferably one with many thin holes.

3. Put the colander into the faucet and clean it (be sure to use a very small flow of water), and then gently stir the seaweed with a spoon. Remember to stir gently and not with too much force. Continue for about two to three minutes. That’s it.

4. Finally, gently shake the colander to drain the water as much as possible. After the water is dried (roughly enough), it is almost complete.

This way, the sand can be removed without wasting it. In summary, seaweed does not actually need to be washed, but if there is sand, just clean it off.
