Tip: Wakame, a bright green seaweed usually sold in dried form, is used in soups, salads and seasonings. Dried wakame must be softened by soaking for about 10 minutes, and any hard stems are then discarded.
It is available from most Asian food stores. Soba is a Japanese noodle, similar in appearance to spaghetti, made from buckwheat.
