Seaweed Crisps

So i fell in love with crispy seaweed. But there is a problem. Its hard to find and one small potato chip bag size is about 2.50$ .  So i scoured the internet for ways to make my own. I found two recipies that I have slightly modified to my own liking.

Baked Seaweed Snacks

10 sheets of nori
1 tbs salt
1 tbs water
1 tsp wasabi paste
1/2 tsp hondashi
Sesame Oil

Set the oven to 275 degrees. Slice the nori into 1.5" strips. Lay out flat on a baking pan. In a bowl combine water, wasabi paste and hondashi.  With a kitchen brush, brush a light amount of the wasabi mixture over each strip. Place in oven for 6-10 minutes (you will know its done when it starts to curl a bit. Watch closely burnt nori isn't the tastiest.). Brush with a very very very minimal amount of oil and sprinkle with a tiny amount of salt. Serve.

Fried Seaweed Snacks

10 sheets of nori
1 tbs salt
2 tsp wasabi powder
Sesame Oil- 1 tbs
Peanut Oil- 1/2  cup

in a shallow pan heat the peanut oil and sesame oil.  Cut the nori into 1.5" strips.  Place a few strips at a time into the hot oil. It takes less than a minute to fry each strip. They will shrivel up a bit, then flip them over and make sure both sides are cooked. Remove onto paper towels to drain. While still a bit damp with oil sprinkle wasabi powder and salt on each strip.
