    This was a great how to do it recipe, with ingrediants I will like. I have a friend in Korea who sent me tons of flavored seaweed laver; I have no idea how to use it, but it is good for my arthritis. Do you have any recipes that do nt include fish of any kind, including seafood, that I can use the seaweed with? All he said was to try it with rice.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!
