Hi, I have a salmon flake recipe posted if you want to try it out. I will check your crumbled grilled recipe out. Do you use it as the fish flakes? Great post :)

I wouldn't suggest wiping the konbu strips clean as I've been told that the white stuff is actually high in minerals and nutrients.


Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it next time I make some more and see if it tastes different.

Another thing you can do is use this as a dipping sauce for soba or udon. Dilute with just a little water and some ginger and scallions.

Also, this is great for stir-frys. Dilute it with 1 to 2 parts water and simmer your stir-fry. You wont need any more seasoning.
