Furikake

I crave sushi a couple of times a week so i bought a sushi maker to cut down on prep time. It's wonderful but i always end up with small pieces of sushi nori left over, they weren't any good for making sushi with so they were being thrown away or munched absently. I came up with this idea after an order from the online grocers and have been using it ever since--measurements are approx as it depends on how much spare nori is knocking around.

Steps

Heat a dry frying pan and add the sesame seeds.
Swirl them around until they have become golden in color , be careful they burn easily.
Leave the sesame seeds to cool.
Tear the nori up into small pieces - about the size of a stamp and place in a food processor.
Blitz until the nori is a coarse powder.
Add the salt , chili and sesame seeds to the nori and place in an air tight container.
Store in a dark place and shake before use.
Sprinkle over rice , use as a seasoning in sushi , fill rice balls with it or mix with some sesame oil and use as a dressing for noodles.

Ingredients

nori, sesame seeds, chili flakes, coarse sea salt
