The Japanese noodle soup stuff my friend bought me all those nice packages of proved just as nice the second time. This time I tried adding some frozen veggies. Worked well, though next time I think I'll just try tossing them in at the same time as everything else. They got a bit over cooked this time.

Anyway, the question is one of the things in the "vegatable" packet. Something is chunks of dark green (like cooked spinach or brussell sprouts) leafy material. Abiut the consistency of cooked cabbage.

Best guess from the ingredients list is that it's either "Sea Tangle" or "seaweed". Any ideas?

I rather like the taste and consistency and I'm wondering if it's something I could find in oriental grocery stores. Especially if I can find it dried like in the packets. It reconstitutes really well, and I think it'd make a nice additive to some other stuff I make if I can find it (and if it isn't hideously expensive or something)

Probably is seaweed. And yes, you can get it at oriental stores. The Pacific Market here by our apartment sells several varieties. And I know there's an asian market on Sandy, as well.

I've already tried seaweed and it was okay, but I will not be getting it for myself again. It smells like hay. Tastes alright, except for the texture, but smells like hay even when cooked.

Chocolate tea? o~O

"Sea Tangle - any of various kelps especially of the genus Laminaria"

It looks like they go into Kelp noodles and other such products.
