Fried sea plant stems

 

Edible sea vegetable or (“sea plant”) seaweed (Korean name is miyeok julgi 미역줄기) is a very healthy food that contains high levels of calcium, iodine, vitamins, and other minerals. It is called “wakame" in Japanese, “qundaicai” in Chinese, and “fougère des mer” in French. In Korean cuisine, it’s usually used for soup or salads.
