Rinse briefly, then soak in cold water for twenty to thirty minutes until softened. The soaking water carries a lot of the flavour and can be kept for stock. Once rehydrated, the leaf can be sliced into strips and simmered into soups, added to braised beans, or served alongside noodles.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Kelp draws in moisture readily, so keep the container sealed between uses.
