Ingredients

Instructions

  • Mix the crumbled or chopped nori seaweed, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, sugar and salt in a small bowl.
    2 tbsp nori, 1 tbsp white sesame seeds, 1 tbsp black sesame seeds, 1/4 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp salt
  • Transfer to a clean glass jar for storage.

Notes

  • Nori Seaweed - This is a type of dried and roasted seaweed common in Japanese cuisine, most known as the seaweed layer on sushi. Look for it in the international isle of bigger supermarkets, your nearest Asian grocer or buy nori online. You can use regular sushi nori sheets or seasoned nori ‘chips’ (usually smaller pieces made for snacking) for extra flavour. Simply cut, slice, or crumble up with your fingers into small portions that mix well with the rest of the ingredients. 
  • Sesame Seeds - We use an even mix of white and black sesame seeds for colour, texture and nutty savoury flavour.  Tip - Toast the sesame seeds for extra nutty flavour to the seasoning. Or try swapping the sesame seeds for toasted rice powder.
