How to Prepare Kampyo for Sushi Rolls
If you have access to kampyo, you can make your own sushi rolls. Because kampyo is sold dehydrated, you’ll need to rehydrate it first. This can be done quickly. Here are the ingredients and the steps you’ll need to follow:

- Rinse the kampyo well with water and drain in a colander. Rub the kampyo with salt until it starts to soften, and then rinse again to remove the salt.
- Place the kampyo in a small saucepan and cover with water. Set it aside to soak for about an hour.
- Set the stove to medium heat and bring the kampyo and the water to the boil. After the water has boiled, drain the water and return the saucepan with the kampyo to the stove over medium heat.
- Add the dashi, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce to the saucepan and stir. Let the mixture simmer for at least 5 minutes or until the kampyo is tender. At this point the kampyo should have absorbed all of the liquid.
- Cut the kampyo into desired pieces and use it to make sushi rolls. Note that if the kampyo doesn’t have enough flavor, you can add more dashi, mirin, sugar, or soy sauce to taste.
