Crispy Seaweed Recipe

Surprisingly, the very popular and rather exotic-sounding ''seaweed'' served in Chinese restaurants is, in fact, just ordinary spring greens.

      

 

       Ingredients

  • spring greens - 1lb

  • vegetable oil

  • caster sugar - 1 tsp

  • salt - 1/2 tsp

  • ground dried fish - 1 tbsp, to garnish

 

      Method

  • Cut off the hard stalks in the center of each spring green leaf.

  • Pile the leaves on top of each other, and roll in a tight sausage shape, shred the leaves and spread them out to dry.

  • Heat the oil until hot, then deep fry the shredded greens in batches, stirring to separate them.

  • Remove the greens when they are crispy before they turn brown. Drain.

  • Sprinkle the salt and sugar evenly over the greens mix well and garnish with ground fish. Serves 4.
