is this the same like seaweed?
hi Akina,
There are different kinds of seaweed, so I’m not sure what seaweed you are talking here. Kelp is one type of seaweed. Here is a link for you about it.

Can I use kombu to make soup with meat (pork/beef)and tofu? Do I have to soak kombu in water before cooking?
hi Lukus,
I use kelp to make broth usually.. I don’t soak them in water before cooking, I just boil them to get good broth. thanks
can we skip it, if it is for soup?
or maybe change it with dashida?
in my country, Indonesia especially in my hometown it is so difficult to get dashima.
usually when we made a soup, we use Indonesia-style-dashida but we only got chicken and beef flavor.
hi Thomas,
I like to use kelp for making broth..but it is not a critical ingredient, so you can skip it. I’ve never tried Indonesian style dashida.. so can’t tell about it. anyway… you can skip kelp. ^^ thanks
I see… thanks for your explanation.
basically, what i mean by Indonesia-style-dashida is very similar with sogogi dashida (beef stock powder). what makes it difference is Korea have beef n anchovy stock powder, while mine is chicken and beef…
hi Thomas,
Then you can use your Indonesia style dashida.. it will give extra flavor for your food. ^^
Where can I buy this dashima?
hi Kyunghee,
You can buy it in a korean or Asian store.. if you are in USA… you can buy it on amazon.com also.. I will add the links for amazon products here.. ^^
