I have been coming across this type of product my whole life in various Asian countries, but I never knew what it’s actually called. Now I finally found it in Canada. “Crispy Seasoned Laver” feels like one of those abominated translations. What’s it called in Korean, and what is its English name in North America? All search results are just fresh dishes with the same dried seaweed, but with savoury seasoning such as gochujang. It’s seaweed flakes coated in some kind of sugary oil, plus sesame. It is heaven on rice. I actually want to find a commercial sized package of this, because 55g is just too little. 1kg will probably last me more than 2 seconds. submitted by /u/Van_Darklholme |
