Crispy Seaweed Recipes
CRISP SEAWEED WITH PEANUTS
This delectable appetizer, a speciality of the coastal city of Ningbo, combines the crisp dark frizz of deep-fried seaweed with fragrant red peanuts. A sprinkling of sugar sets off the salty, umami taste of the vegetable. It's traditionally made with a kind of branched string lettuce or gutweed that grows like a carpet of strandy green hair along the shoreline near Ningbo, and has a mesmerizing fragrance and flavor. It's known as tai cai or tai tiao in Chinese, and is used in both sweet pastries and savory dishes. I've never found branched string lettuce for sale outside China, but once when I was walking along a beach in southern England I caught its unmistakable scent on the wind. I returned to London with bagfuls of seaweed, which I dried out and used in a few Ningbo dishes. If you can find clean, wild branched string lettuce, which you will recognize from its resemblance to skeins of green hair, do dry it and use it in the following recipe. Otherwise, I offer you a favorite cheat of Chinese restaurants in the UK, which often serve "crispy seaweed" made from deep-fried cabbage leaves: delicious, and strikingly similar in effect to the original dish.

Steps:
- If using spring cabbage, cut out and discard the thick stem from the center of each leaf. Lay the leaves on top of each other, roll them up and slice as thinly as possible. You should end up with 1 - 2 mm strips of cabbage. If using kale, strip the curly leaves from the stems and break them into small pieces. If using dried seaweed, separate it into strands following the line of the "hair" and then cut it into 1/6-in (5m) pieces.
- Put the peanuts in a seasoned wok with the cooking oil and heat gently to 260 - 275 degrees F (130 - 140 degrees C) until there is a gentle fizzing around the nuts -- it's easiest to use a thermometer for this. Deep-fry at this temperature for 15 - 20 minutes, until the nuts are glossy, crisp and fragrant (if you taste one, carefully, you will be able to tell when it has lost its raw crunch). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Reheat the oil to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Add the cabbage or kale in two or three batches and deep-fry for a couple of minutes, or until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. If using seaweed, heat the oil to 300 - 320 degrees F (150 - 160 degrees C) and deep-fry very briefly until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Mix the peanuts and cabbage "seaweed" together, season with salt, then add the sugar and serve. If you are using real branched string lettuce, you won't need any salt.
