Made a salad from a type of seaweed my mom gave me with onion, pineapple and blanched beansprouts. After my horrifying experience with beansprouts, I heeded my mom’s advice that I blanch them quickly. The beansprouts are cooked perfectly but the seaweeds are really weird. It is not crunchy and chewy as I had expected. Instead, the texture is similar to cheap agar-agar. Yucks. So I’ve decided to throw away the other half of the seaweeds left.
