Ingredients

  • 1 dried kelp, one 9”x15” sheet (Dashima) or equivalent size
  • 1 ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 tsp sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a fryer or a deep frying pan.
  2. While oil is heating up, wipe both sides of kelp with a wet towel to remove any extra salt residue.
  3. Cut kelp into 1.5 x 1.5 inch squares with scissors.
  4. Prepare a plate lined with paper towel or fryer basket right next to the fryer.
  5. When oil is heated enough (150°C/300°F) throw in a handful of kelp pieces and start frying. The kelp pieces should balloon or flower in just seconds. When they have floated to the top, leave them to fry a couple more seconds and using a spider or a fryer basket, take them out onto plate prepared in step 4.
  6. Once it’s cooled a little, sprinkle sugar generously on both sides.
