Ingredients
- 5 nori sheets
- 5 rice paper sheets
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- salt
Instructions
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Set aside.
- Lay a seaweed sheet on a clean dry surface with the shiny side down. Dip a piece of rice paper into the warm water until it’s pliable, but not soggy. Shake off excess water then place the rice paper on top of the nori sheet. A little of the rice paper may extend beyond the seaweed paper that’s okay! Sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
- Cut each sheet into 8 equal pieces. Do not let the rice paper touch each other because they become sticky and difficult to cook when they’re stuck together.
- Heat a large pan on medium-high heat. Add enough oil to the pan for a shallow or deep fry. Test the oil to see if it’s hot by dipping part of the seaweed chip in the oil. It should begin to immediately sizzle. Slowly add in a few seaweed chips at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan so they don’t stick to each other. Cook for about 20-30 seconds, flipping halfway through. You can tell when they’re done when there are no more bubbles coming from the chips. Remove, place on a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate, then dust with a pinch of salt while they’re still hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- Ideally, your nori and rice paper sheets should be about the same size, but if one is slightly larger than the other, it'll still taste delicious!
