Pickled Kelp

This pickled kelp is useful for many dishes. You can adjust the sugar and vinegar according to your taste. I normally would add a little salt to my pickles but since the kelp has some natural salt I omit it. You may blanch the kelp for 10-15 seconds for a brighter green color if interested.
