Steps
- 01
Mix 2 tbsp neutral oil and 2 tsp sesame oil; put 1 tsp salt in a separate small bowl. Use dry, unseasoned seaweed.
- 02
Brush a very thin layer of oil on the shiny side of each sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt. Rest the 20 seasoned sheets briefly on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- 03
Warm a wide dry skillet over low heat. Press each seaweed sheet gently for about 10–20 seconds, turn it, and remove once bright green and crisp.
- 04
Cool briefly, then cut into bite-size pieces. Seaweed can burn quickly; never leave the skillet unattended or use high heat.
- 05
Eat at once or cool fully and store in a dry airtight container. Pack separately from rice for lunchboxes to retain crispness.

Before you cook
Check sesame allergy and any seafood cross-contact labels on seaweed. Oiled sheets burn quickly, so cook briefly over low heat without leaving the pan. Cool, store dry and airtight, use within a few days, and discard if off-smelling or spoiled.
