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:
