Guso (seaweed) from the Philippines (click to enlarge)
Guso is a seaweed that’s been soaked in vinegar and mixed with ginger, red bell pepper and tomato with some onion, its served cold. It tastes mainly of the dressing but the crunchy texture is really nice, similar to cucumber.
Guso is found in most night food markets, not really something you’ll see at corner stalls though. It’s served mainly as a side dish and costs about 7-15 pesos for a small plate.
