Nori Crisps






Nori is commonly used as a wrap for sushi and onigiri. It is also a common garnish or flavoring in noodle preparations and soups. Here in this dish, nori is sandwiched with spring roll wrappers, fried into a most addictive snack. This would be an easy snack to serve for the
Chinese New Year.

10 pcs seaweed sheets, cut into half
20 sheets spring roll wrappers
1 egg, lightly beaten for glazing

Oil for deep frying

Method:

Lay a piece of spring roll wrapper on the pastry board.
