Crispy seaweed
You can use any type of dark spring cabbage to make crispy seaweed - just like you'd find in any good Chinese. Make sure the cabbage is completely dry, then cook in hot oil in a wok. Before serving, season with salt, sugar and Chinese five spice powder. Delicious!
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 300g kale, washed and thoroughly dried
- About 100ml rapeseed or groundnut oil, for frying
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Finely slice the dry cabbage leaves.
- Heat about 200ml oil in a wok over high heat. Add about 1/4 of the chopped cabbage, tilting the wok to deep-fry, for one or two minutes, or until it's crispy. Remove the cabbage with a slotted spoon and dry on kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining small batches of sliced cabbage.
- Pour off any excess oil in the wok. Add crispy cabbage back in and sprinkle over Chinese five spice powder, sugar and salt. Toss well and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm.
Note:
Five spice powder is a mixture of dried fennel, aniseed, cinnamon, cloves and ginger.
