How to prepare furikake (japanese rice seasoning)
- Toast the sesame seeds on low heat, in a dry pan without any fat until lightly browned. Remove from pan.
- Add the nori sheets torn into pieces to the hot pan and stir for 1 minute to revive the aroma.
- Put the nori in a food processor (or coffee grinder) and grind finely. Add the sesame seeds, salt, and sugar and pulse 5-6 times, just enough to slightly crush the sesame seeds.
- Store in a closed jar.
