Kelp (Dashima)

Korea is surrounded by the sea on three sides, making it easy to access fresh seafood. As a result, many dishes use seafood-based broths instead of meat-based broths. Ingredients like dashima (kelp), dried anchovies, and dried shrimp are commonly used to make these broths.

Whenever I see dashima in Korean marts here in Germany, I make sure to stock up on it!
