Seaweed chips

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the ingredients. Take 2 sheets of seaweed (I used nori from porphyry red algae), sesame oil and spices according to the list. Cane sugar can be replaced with regular white sugar. Do not replace sesame oil with another one in any case, otherwise the taste and useful qualities of the product will be lost. You can experiment with spices.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put brown sugar and all spices in a small container: ground chili, ground ginger and salt. Mix well. In this recipe, classic spices for Japanese dishes were used, but they can be replaced. The main thing is to leave granulated sugar in the ingredients.

3. Step 3:

   

   Take the first sheet of nori and put its shiny surface on the table, and lubricate the rough surface with a pastry brush with fragrant sesame oil. Due to the fact that it is the rough surface of algae that is lubricated, spices with sugar practically do not crumble. On the shiny side, these spices would crumble much more.

5. Step 4:

   

   Mix the spices lightly again and spread half of these spices evenly on the first sheet of nori. Also brush the second seaweed leaf with sesame oil and season with the remaining spice mixture.

6. Step 5:

   

   Take a large diameter frying pan, warm it up very well, you don't need to add oil anymore. When the pan is warmed up, lower the temperature to medium, lay out the first sheet of nori with the shiny side down. After literally 30 seconds, turn the algae leaf over and fry it lightly, also for about 30 seconds. Remove the first sheet of nori and do the same with the second sheet.

7. Step 6:

   

   Using scissors, cut the fried seaweed arbitrarily into triangles, squares or rhombuses. Before serving, the resulting chips can be lightly seasoned with spices.
