4 cups Chicken Stock

2 sheets Sea Lettuce

2 Eggs

Salt and Pepper

½ tsp Sesame Oil (optional)

1 or 2 Green Onion Stalks

Toasted Sea Lettuce

6 sheets Sea Lettuce

½ tsp Salt

1 ½ tbsp sesame oil

Clean the sea lettuce.  Mix salt and sesame oil and rub a thin coat on the sea lettuce.  Lay 6 sheets on top of one another, roll them up and let them stand for 5 minutes.  Unroll and cook each sheet separately in a hot pan over low heat until crisp. Cut sheet into smaller pieces and serve with hot rice.  This is more or less how laver was prepared in the British Isles, and another name for Ulva is green laver. back
