Seasoned Funori

Something simple and no cooking required. I used dried coralline algae (100g @ S$4.50) which I bought from Yes Natural Pte Ltd. This coralline algae is slightly different from the Funori that I used in another recipe. I discovered that it can’t be cooked, if it is heated, it melts. This is recommended for making salad. Using simple seasoning that I normally used for whipping up Korean Side Dishes, I have this seasoned funori that I can also add to my Ocean Themed Bibimbap.
