Crispy Nori Rice Squares
Golden, crispy rice squares infused with crushed nori, lightly seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil, and pan fried until perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups short grain white rice, cooked
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 nori sheets, finely crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked short grain rice, crushed nori, salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until evenly incorporated.
- Lightly grease a flat dish and press the rice mixture firmly into an even layer about 1 inch thick. Allow it to cool slightly to set.
- Cut the pressed rice into even squares. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and press gently so they adhere.
- Add vegetable oil to the skillet. Fry the rice squares for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately for maximum crispiness.
Notes
- Press the rice firmly to prevent breaking during frying.
- Use short grain rice for best stickiness and structure.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
- Reheat leftovers in a skillet to restore crisp texture.
