round cakes of dried seaweed

by Amy

What type of seaweed is often sold dried into round cakes? The packaging is mostly in Chinese and the only English says, "dried seaweed." It has a very strong flavor and I'd like to look up recipes to use it in, but can't figure out the variety.
Thanks,
Amy

I am not familiar with the brand and tried searching for it online but I didn't get any info. You could ask the store owner next time.

The hard part in buying seaweed with language you don't understand is you can' read where the seaweed was harvested.

Best to buy seaweed with details of its origin.

You don't have to cook it. Just tear in into half your palm size and add it into your hot/warm soup. Average around 2 pieces per serving. Recommended for chicken soup. However, it does not taste good in creamy ones. Makes one feel full easily. Suitable as part of your dieting plans.
