Chick Peas and Nori

This is a recipe my mom used to make when she was on Macrobiotics back in the '80's.  It is probably my favorite chick pea recipe

1 bag dried chick peas
7 cups water
1 sheet nori, like you use to make sushi, torn or chopped
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Put ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8+ hours.  Serve with rice or with your favorite ethnic bread.
