Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet nori seaweed unseasoned
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon roasted sesame seeds
  • 6 almonds
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil small amount
  • 1 -2 dashes sea salt fine

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Use ⅓ pre-cut sheets of nori or cut a full sheet of nori with clean kitchen scissors or sharp knife. (Use strips approximately 7 cm wide.)
  • Carefully slice almonds into thin slivers with a sharp knife on a cutting board.
  • Lightly coat the shiny side of nori with olive oil using a pastry brush.
  • Lightly coat baking sheet or tray with remaining olive oil.
  • Turn oil-coated nori upside down on a baking sheet.
  • Rinse and dry pastry brush.
  • Crack an egg and mix with a fork or chopsticks.
  • Pour enough egg over sesame seeds in a small dish to coat all the seeds. (approximately 1 tsp)
  • Use a small spoon to put egg-coated sesame seeds on top of sheets of nori.
  • Repeat the same process with almond slivers but use as little egg as possible (lightly coat).
  • Use pastry brush to spread out sesame seeds and almond slivers to cover nori sheets evenly.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top.
  • Cover the nori sheets with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent the almonds and seeds from burning.

Baking

  • Preheat oven to 320 degrees F.
  • Bake for four minutes or until the egg coating is completely cooked and almonds slivers are golden brown.
  • Carefully remove pan from oven with an oven mitt or potholder.

Serve

  • Use a spatula to lift sheets of nori off pan.
  • Place on a clean and dry cutting board.
  • Cut strips of nori in half with a sharp knife.

Notes

Oven temperatures will vary. Check under foil with a pair of tongs or cooking chopsticks to prevent burning. 
These seaweed snacks tastes best when served warm.
Once you have the basic recipe down, why not start experimenting with your own version? Try pumpkin seeds instead of almond slivers or top with your favorite flavors: yuzu, spices, wasabi, etc.
