that entirely different kind of seaweed. what you show in this video is wakame, not kombu

[@C2C.]

You can also tie thick slices into knots, which pick up sauces or can be handled more easily. And some of us don't think seaweed is strong-tasting. That's mostly with people who aren't accustomed to the flavor.

[@bis257]

this is wakame not kombu. It not the same

[@D_4_C-CitationNeeded]

It might be kombu, just before it dries

[@way9883]

​@@D_4_C-CitationNeededno, even when it's not dried kombu is much thick and stiffer

[@dionysischantzopoulos]

She didn't mention that you could eat them rawr

[@Nyaiv]

Do they usually put this in miso soup?

[@ZaihasSyakhir]

Wakame not kombu

[@summersol5]

What i heard: Komboo is a sea bit*h u bull.

[@thejosie]

people whose cooking expertise boils down to instant ramen really acting like experts here

[@SansBalance]

Don’t make videos about sea vegetables if you can’t tell them apart.

[@SabaKhan-wk4td]

Kor Wadan sir😊

[@user-rz4lv6jg8h]

Kombu

[@MGBillionaire]

Step 1: toss it back into the ocean

[@hjhjhjhj00]

Isnt that kelp? Kombu in its non dry form is darker in color and usually a bit thicker

[@bobstewart8269]

Kombu is a type of kelp

[@hjhjhjhj00]

What I meant is that the specie that is shown in the video resembles more of “wakame” than “kombu”

[@user-rz4lv6jg8h]

Kombe

[@harryyy4323]

i didn’t even know this was a thing

[@abobrett6703]

Yea

[@kaitlin4047]

how are there people here being judgmental about seaweed of all things? so strange…

[@DooDoo4208]

Tired of them taking a culture's food, clothing, or looks and speaking about it as if they know. First, learn the pronunciation ffs 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@SansBalance]

Presenting oneself as a knowledgeable person who is teaching the public while actually knowing little to nothing about a subject deserves to be called out, I think.

[@adamdhaly5598]

It is chewy and hard to eat

[@g.h.7661]

🙄 white ladyyyy thats Wakame

[@lanlanreactions9490]

Your overalls is unbuttoned

[@HistoryLuvr]

Maybe so it can be easier for her to move around since she’s cutting stuff

[@Zipfei_Kloatscher]

I bet she could easily make a sanitary napkin out of this stuff... 😅

[@Pastronomer69]

Sea vegetable? You mean algae, just sounds less tasty!

[@NothingMaster]

And in the end I’m gonna end up with lots and lots of cats. 🐈

[@rollin60z]

Why would i use seaweed for ANYTHING 🤦

[@phazeons]

lmfao you got an anime cosplay icon and say this ignorant stuff about an asian ingredient

[@poeticcinema5857]

Have you ever had sushi 😒

[@WhoamI-ll7rk]

Konbu is one of the main ingredients for umami

[@glynislailann9056]

​@@poeticcinema5857 Yes, that black stuff on your sushi rolls is dried seaweed.
