dailyrecord.co.uk:

If a Chinese is your takeaway of choice after a long and tiring week at work, it's likely you've got a favourite dish that you order time and time again.And no main meal is complete without a side dish or two, with prawn crackers and crispy seaweed being two particularly popular choices.

However, it turns out many people don't know how crispy seaweed is actually made, and one woman on TikTok claimed she felt 'lied to' her whole life after sharing the recipe.

The Mirror reports that the savoury snack in fact isn't seaweed at all - and instead it's often cabbage or another type of leafy green vegetable.

For many people, the truth came to light when TikToker @angelica.jells posted a clip demonstrating how to prepare the delicious side dish at home without the hefty price tag of some Chinese takeaways.Angelica said it's one of her favourite things to order when she gets a takeaway, saying that it's "actually a lot easier to make" than she thought.
