Ingredients
1 package of nori seaweed sheets
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 cup of cold water
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper.
Add the water to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
Cut the nori sheets into small squares or strips.
Dip the nori pieces in the batter and coat evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Fry the nori pieces in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain the fried nori on paper towels and serve immediately.
Variations
For a more flavorful batter, add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese or 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
For a spicy variation, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the batter.
Serve the fried nori with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, wasabi, or mayonnaise.
Tips
Be sure to use cold water when making the batter, as this will help to create a crispy texture.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the nori, as this will lower the temperature of the oil and prevent the nori from frying evenly.
Drain the fried nori on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Fried nori can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
