HOW TO USE WHOLE LEAF KOMBU
Just cut or break off a 4 inch piece of kombu and add it to the pot as you would a bay leaf and cook as usual. You can remove it and discard after cooking or chop it up and stir it into your dish. Use it to make dashi (the base of miso soup), make the best chicken noodle soup ever, and add it to your pot of beans to make them more flavorful. You can also use the kombu leaves to cure salmon
