Kombu Tsukudani (Simmered Kelp)

Kombu Tsukudani (Simmered Kelp) is a Japanese condiment of kelp simmered in soy sauce, mirin and sugar until glossy and deeply savory; it is commonly served as a condiment or rice topping in Japanese home cooking. Per 100 g it contains 9g of salt, so even small portions deliver a strong salty, umami hit, and it is also notably rich in iodine compared with most land vegetables. While used sparingly, it provides modest fiber and mineral content and delivers concentrated savory flavor — a nutrient-dense sea vegetable best enjoyed in small amounts because of the high salt and iodine levels.
