Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (white or black)
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
1. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat, ensuring it’s dry and clean.
2. Toast the nori sheets, one at a time, by placing them flat in the hot pan. Press them gently with a spatula or tongs for about 15-20 seconds on each side until they become fragrant and slightly crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Using the same pan, lower the heat to medium-low and dry toast the sesame seeds. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown and aromatic. Transfer the seeds to a plate to cool.
4. Using kitchen scissors, cut the toasted nori sheets into strips or small squares, depending on your preference.
5. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil together to create a light dressing.
6. Place the nori pieces in a mixing bowl and drizzle the soy sauce-sesame oil mixture over the top. Gently toss to coat the nori evenly.
7. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the nori and toss again to distribute.
8. Serve immediately as a snack, sprinkle over rice dishes, or use as a garnish for salads and soups. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
