We all know that Chinese crispy "seaweed" is actually cabbage or kale. Its also quite expensive to buy but, really cheap and easy to make.
I asked the Duck for recipes and followed this one. roughly. https://www.justaveragejen.com/crispy-seaweed.html
Couldn't find the sesame seeds in the cupboard so missed that out.
Used Taunton Deane perennial kale as the leaves are huge and quite smooth. Took the stalk out, rolled up the leaves into a cigar shape and sliced them as finely as I cook with my big oriental chopping knife (as it seemed appropriate.
I sprayed the shredded leaves with "Fry Light" and stirred them around. Them put them in a metal cooking tray in the halogen for about 10 minutes. Forgot to add the Chinese 5 Spice at the start so sprinkled it on afterwards.
Will definitely do it again as I have lots of this kale to find a use for. Six cuttings in water at the moment.
