It is super important even if many instructions will tell you to soak it directly in your preparations (sauce, vinaigrette, etc.). I don\u2019t like this technique for several reasons :<br \/>&#8211; The \u00ab\u00a0ocean\u2019s\u00a0\u00bb taste will be stronger (you won\u2019t be able to drain the water)<br \/>&#8211; It takes much more time for the seaweed to soften<br \/>&#8211; Seaweed never gets really soft, especially if your sauce contains fat<\/p>\n<h3>How am I doing ?<\/h3>\n<p>I proceed exactly like legumes, my <a href=\"https:\/\/alafrenchfood.com\/en\/exotic-pineapple-green-lentils-spread\/\">green lentils &amp; pineapple dip<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/alafrenchfood.com\/en\/my-indian-style-red-lentils-spread\/\">Indian flavoured yellow lentils spread<\/a> are a good example. You have to do it at least 20 minutes in advance, or more if you want to change the water to decrease the taste.<\/p>\n<h4>I often soak my seaweed the day before and I can keep them for up to 8 days in their water in the fridge.
