Ingredients
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (white or black)
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat, ensuring it’s dry and clean.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
4. Using kitchen scissors, cut the toasted nori sheets into strips or small squares, depending on your preference.
Step 5
5. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and sesame oil together to create a light dressing.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
7. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the nori and toss again to distribute.
Step 8
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.
