Here is an interesting egg drop/seaweed soup. The one I make I got out of a very simple Chinese cookbook and is basically egg, silken tofu, seaweed, white pepper and a good chicken broth. I get the organic seaweed which can be quite expensive so I stretch it by adding in Kale. Korean dishes are another source.

Thank you Ken for the Chinese/Taiwanese seaweed information I guess that if iodized salt is common in those places now, the amount of seaweed in the diet must be rather small.

Also thanks to Bob for the nice example of seaweed in Chinese food - I never had any myself, so I was curious...

You may want to scale down this "serves ten" recipe--at least until you know whether you like the stuff. (No seaweed. Add some if you wish.)
