Rong the bee

Rong Bien is an Asian brand known at Thai-Butikken for its dried wakame. Wakame is an edible brown algae that has been a staple of Japanese and East Asian cuisine for generations. The dried form takes up little space but swells and becomes soft and silky when placed in water. The taste is mild, slightly salty, and ocean-fresh.

What you'll find here:

• Rong Bien Dried Wakame 50g in a convenient package
• Dried brown algae that swells in water
• Mild, ocean-fresh seaweed for soups and salads

Wakame is classically used in miso soup, where it is added in the last few minutes to become just soft. It is also good in cold seaweed salads with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and toasted sesame seeds, or as a side dish to a bowl of rice and steamed vegetables.

Place the dried wakame in cold or lukewarm water for 5-10 minutes, and gently squeeze out the water before using. Store the package dry and sealed so the algae remains crisp until use.

Buy Rong Bien Dried Wakame at Thai-Butikken and bring the taste of the sea into your soup and salad.
