Arame seaweed is an Asian specialty, consumed particularly in Japan, and is famous for being rich in potassium as well as for its ability to act as an antiviral, as well as being used - in general - also to keep fit. The arame seaweed is generally left to soak for a few minutes and is then cooked by rapid boiling: at this point, it is consumed simply as a sort of salad, which can be seasoned in many different ways, or, it can be used as an ingredient for the preparation of rice-based first courses or even in combination with seitan.
