I was so happy I found another way to enjoy the Chinese seaweed. Before that I only know one way to enjoy the seaweed with eggs and dried anchovies. It is definitely a benefit for me when someone posted pictures of the food they eat while vacationing in Malaysia or Singapore. It gave me ideas or ways to cook a certain food that I have not thought of before. My hubby loved this type of seaweed, which I called Chinese seaweed instead of the Korean green seaweed. He just won't touch those at all. So, I was glad that I found another way of preparing this soup.
Ingredients:
- Chinese seaweed (those round shape one, sold two pieces in one packet), wash quickly with water before using.
- chicken breast, sliced
- silken soft tofu, cut
- fish balls, keep whole or cut into half
Seasonings: Ikan bilis granules and salt
Garnish: Fried crispy shallots (optional)
Method:
1. Boil water in a saucepan (the amount of soup you want). When boiled, add in the chicken breasts and let it cooked. Then, add in tofu, fish balls and seaweed.
2. Season with seasonings to taste. Garnish with fried crispy shallots if desired.

i like this meal
I like to drink Chinese seaweed soup as well, usually I will add few drop of black vinegar, the soup even taste better.
I like this type of quick and easy soup. May I know what type of seaweed you used? Is it the same as the one we use to make sushi?
Thanks SP. :)
Thanks for the tips Emile. Next time I will add a few drops of black vinegar for a change. :)
No Gert, it's not the seaweed that make sushi. It's a round (about 12"), black, slightly thick seaweed that is from China (about 4 in a packet), so I called it Chinese seaweed. When it's cooked in hot water, it will separate into strains. It's fairly cheap.
healthy soup!!

Thanks Jo. I love this soup too!
For various kinds of seaweed soups, my habit is to add quite a handful of chopped spring onion and drizzle with some sesame oil on top. Very often, stir in some ground white pepper.
