Liked the cucumber salad and ginger chicken soup, and ready for another recipe for your kelp cookbook? Try this Chinese kelp salad found on the China Sichuan Food blog. This cold dish is simple to make with basic ingredients and low prep time. While you could use the same noodles more easily found in stores from the ginger chicken kelp soup recipe, a greater variety of dried and fresh kelp can be found at Asian markets and online retailers such as Brittany Sea Salt, Sea Tangle or Etsy. Enjoy this adventurous recipe!
