Notes

  • 🌾 Sesame Street Smarts:
  • 🌾
  • Toast sesame seeds over medium heat, stirring often to prevent uneven roasting or burning. Perfectly golden seeds make all the difference.
  • 📜 Nori-ous B.I.G.:
  • 📜
  • Cut nori into fine strips with scissors or crumble it for a rustic texture. Tiny rectangles create the best balance in each bite.
  • 🌶️ Spice Up Your Life:
  • 🌶️
  • Add ichimi togarashi or wasabi powder for a mild heat, or use mushroom powder or nutritional yeast to replace bonito’s umami punch.
  • ❄️
  • Let sesame seeds cool to room temperature after toasting. If mixed while warm, condensation can form, ruining the texture and shortening shelf life.
  • ❄️Chill Out:
