Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not soak salted kombu for more than 3 minutes, as prolonged soaking may diminish its umami flavor and make it taste bland.
  • Using tempura flour instead of regular pancake mix results in significantly crispier and richer texture.
  • Crush the peanut powder coarsely—avoid making it too fine—to preserve the satisfying crunch and rich mouthfeel.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a new unique appetizer using seaweed.
  • People looking to create an unusual side dish or snack with minimal ingredients and simple preparation.
