Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small saucepan, combine gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well combined.
~3 min - 3
Heat the glaze mixture over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and becomes fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
~5 min - 4
Working one by one, carefully brush one side of each nori sheet with the spicy glaze using a pastry brush. Ensure even coverage.
~10 min - 5
Place the glazed nori sheets, glaze-side up, onto the prepared baking sheet.
~2 min - 6
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the nori is crisp and slightly darkened. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
~20 min - 7
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. While still warm, lightly brush the top side of the crisps with neutral cooking oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
~3 min - 8
Allow the nori crisps to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become more brittle as they cool.
~12 min - 9
Once cooled, gently break the nori sheets into bite-sized pieces.
Tips
- The glaze can be quite sticky. If it becomes too thick during heating, add a tiny splash of water or soy sauce to loosen it.
- Store cooled nori crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They may lose some crispness over time due to humidity.
