Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Lay a nori sheet flat on your work surface. Using a pastry brush or your fingers, lightly dampen the nori sheet with water. This will act as the adhesive for the rice paper.

  2. Carefully place a rice paper sheet on top of the moistened nori sheet. Gently press down to ensure they stick together evenly. Repeat this process for the remaining nori and rice paper sheets.

  3. Once the nori and rice paper are firmly attached, use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut the layered sheets into small, chip-sized pieces. You can make them as large or small as you prefer.

  4. In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cut pieces of nori and rice paper in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 30-60 seconds or until they turn crispy.

  5. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried chips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While still warm, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and chili powder to taste. Shake the plate gently to ensure the seasoning coats the chips evenly.

  6. Once seasoned, your homemade Rice Paper Seaweed Chips are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dips or sauces for an extra burst of flavor.

Note

  • Maintain the oil at the right temperature for frying. Too hot, and your chips may burn; too cold, and they'll absorb too much oil and become soggy. Aim for around 350°F (175°C) for crispy results.
  • Fry the chips in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding can lower the oil temperature and result in uneven cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I bake these chips instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake the chips instead of frying them for a healthier alternative. Preheat your oven to around 350°F (175°C) and arrange the cut pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

How long do these chips stay fresh?

Homemade Rice Paper Seaweed Chips are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. However, they may lose some of their crispiness over time.

Can I use different seasonings besides salt and chili powder?

Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with your seasonings. Try using spices like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or even nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
