1. Soak kelp in rice-washing water, which makes it easy to dry, easy to wash, and easy to soften when boiled; you can also add a little edible alkali or baking soda when boiling kelp, but not too much. After it is soft, soak the kelp in cold water, clean it, then take it out and it is ready to eat.

2. Open the dried kelp into a ball, put it in a dry steamer and steam it for about half an hour, and then soak it in water overnight. The kelp processed in this way is not only crisp and tender, but also soft and delicious when stewed, stir-fried, or served cold!

3. Soak for a few more days before washing
