Ingredients:
- Tosakanori (before soaking): 20g / 6g
- Zha cai (Sichuan pickled mustard stem): 5-6 slices
- Sesame oil: about 2 teaspoons
- Green onions: to taste
- White sesame seeds: to taste
How to:
-
Salted Tosakanori seaweed should be rinsed twice with water to remove salt. After that, soaked in water for about 3 minutes to remove the excess salt.
-
For Dried Tosakanori seaweed, soak it in water for 4 minutes to rehydrate.
- ※ When soaking in saltwater, make sure to thoroughly rinse off any debris or foreign objects that may have gotten inside. If there are any discolored parts, it's best to remove them.
- Combine the soaked Tosakanori, zha cai, sesame oil, green onions, and sesame seeds in a bowl or on a plate. Mix well.
- That's it! Your delicious appetizer is ready to enjoy.
This quick recipe was born from a serendipitous find of zha cai in the fridge and Sea Vegetables' Tosakanori in the pantry. The aromatic sesame oil harmonizes beautifully with the salty flavors of the ingredients, creating a delicious snack in no time. No additional seasoning needed!
