The simmering of the ingredients makes the chicken meat very tasty and the mushrooms absorbed the flavours with natural sweetness. The seaweed is crunchy and it is a healthy ingredient too. "Wakame is a very important source of vitamins and minerals, including iodine, calcium, iron, and magnesium, as well as folate, vitamin A, C, D, E, K, and B2. Wakame also contains lignans and fucoxanthin, which have their own unique health benefits". This seaweed is available at most Chinese medical shops.
