Toasted Nori Recipes

TOASTED NORI WITH SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Toast the nori by passing each sheet repeatedly over a hot burner untli it becomes crisp and the color dulls.
• Put the sheets together and using scissors, slice them into thin strips, then into squares.
• Toast the seeds and salt in a dry skillet over medium heat until the seeds begin to color. Grind them just enough for the salt to adhere. You can use a coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle(or your food processor). Combiine with the nori and pepper flakes.
• Cool, then store in a covered jar so they will stay crisp. Enjoy!

TOASTED NORI MAYONNAISE

• Finely grind nori in a spice mill or a blender. Mix nori, mayonnaise, and lime juice in a small bowl; season with salt.
• Mayonnaise can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.

CRISP NORI CHIPS WITH TOASTED SESAME OIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 250 degrees. Brush or spray one sheet of nori very lightly with a little water and sprinkle it with sea salt. Fold sheet in half and press two sides together (sheets will not bind perfectly; do not worry).
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut layered nori into 1-by-3-inch strips (or any desired size). Transfer strips to a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake them for about 15 to 20 minutes; they will crisp and darken.
• When chips are done, carefully slide them off cookie sheet onto racks (they cool quickly). To serve, brush chips gently with sesame oil. Without oil, chips will stay fresh in a covered container for a day or two.
