Recipe

Cut the seaweed into finger-sized pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a pan, add the seaweed, and fry as if stir-frying. If you are slow, lower the heat to low.
When the seaweed shrivels, becomes crispy, turns yellow, and starts to smell slightly burnt, turn off the heat and remove it.
Sprinkle salt and sesame salt over the finished fried seaweed. Seasoning in advance makes it soggy, so it must be added at the end.

Cut the seaweed into finger-sized pieces.
Fry the seaweed in sesame oil as if stir-frying.
When crispy, turn off the heat and sprinkle with salt and sesame salt.

Cooking tips

Fried seaweed cooks very quickly, so if you are slow, lower the heat to low.
Adding salt in advance makes the seaweed soggy, so sprinkle it at the end after cooking to maintain crispiness.
