Pro Tips

1. Toasting Technique Make sure to toast the nori sheets over a low flame or in a dry pan just until they become crisp, which usually takes around 10 seconds per side. If using a gas stove, hold the nori with tongs and pass it quickly over the flame.

2. Cutting Consistency Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut the nori into uniform thin strips. This ensures even coating with the sauce and makes for a more aesthetically pleasing presentation atop your dishes.

3. Sauce Mixing When preparing the sauce, whisk vigorously to ensure that the sugar is completely dissolved. This enhances the smoothness and even distribution of flavors across the nori.

4. Flavor Absorption Time After tossing the nori in the sauce, let it rest for at least 5 minutes. This resting period is crucial for the flavors to fully infuse into the nori, giving you a richer taste.

5. Storage Tips If you have leftover seasoned nori, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will maintain its flavor and can be used for up to a couple of days as a topping for various dishes.
