Although the dish is traditionally made with seaweed in China, in this country it’s often made with spring greens. Try this recipe, which serves 4:
Remove and discard the tough stalks from 175g (6oz) washed spring greens. Spin to remove excess water, then shred finely. Dry on kitchen paper.
Heat a shallow layer of sunflower oil in a wok until very hot, then add a handful of greens, standing back in case it spits. Fry for 30sec or until bright green and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, put on a baking sheet lined with kitchen paper and keep warm. Repeat with remaining greens.
Sprinkle 2 level tsp caster sugar and ¼ level tsp salt over the top and toss the greens, then serve in a warm dish.
If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular “fad” diets out there. Go here
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it’s just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it’s a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
As per above, but be very careful to dry it all thoroughly, and only fry a little at a time – you will be cleaning grean oil off your cooker for days!
It’s deep fried shredded cabbage. It cooks in seconds and burns easily, so be careful.

Chinese Crispy Seaweed is much less exotic than it sounds. While “seaweed” is in the title of the dish, it’s traditionally made from bok choy. Cabbage or other greens make an equally delicious recipe. Rather than venturing to Asian markets, you can buy the ingredients at your local supermarket—and then wow your guests with the authentic recipe.
Things You’ll Need
1 lb. bok choy or other greens
Two baking trays
Wok or deep pan
Oil for deep frying
Ground fish, optional
Dried shallots, optional
Step 1
Clean the bok choy or other greens. To ensure a crispy result, the greens must be completely dry before you fry them so wipe the greens with a damp paper towel rather than rinsing them in water.
Step 2
Cut the thick center stems from the greens and set them aside for use in another recipe.
