FURIKAKE SEAWEED SNACKS

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 1h

Yield 32 snacks

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted and cooled (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted and cooled (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons lightly packed bonito flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
1/4 teaspoon togarashi
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 (8-inch) toasted nori sheets (reserve the desiccant packet from the nori packaging)
2 tablespoons water
1/4 to 1/2 cup toasted sesame oil, for spritzing

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and place racks in the upper-middle and lower-middle positions. Have two half sheet pans ready.
  • Combine half of the white and black sesame seeds with the bonito flakes, sugar, wasabi powder, togarashi, and salt in a spice grinder. Pulse until coarsely ground, about three pulses. Transfer the seasoning mix to a small bowl and mix in the remaining white and black sesame seeds.
  • Place a sheet of nori on a cutting board and, using a pastry brush, lightly moisten with the water. Immediately sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the seasoning mix evenly over the nori. It may start to curl up on the edges; that's okay. Using a large chef's knife, slice each sheet into 6 even rectangles and transfer to the half sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets, dividing them evenly between the two pans. Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes to dry. (You will have extra seasoning; save for another use, like...popcorn.)
  • Add sesame oil to a spritzer and evenly spritz the seasoned side of the nori sheets (You will have extra oil). Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Rotate the pans and continue to bake until the snacks are crisp but not yet brown, about 3 more minutes.
  • Transfer the nori sheets to a wire rack to cool. To store, transfer to a gallon-size zip-top bag and add the desiccant packet from the nori packaging to help maintain crispness. The seaweed snacks will keep for at least 1 week at room temperature.

STEVE'S OFTEN COPIED, NEVER DUPLICATED, FURIKAKE CHEX MIX



Steve's Often Copied, Never Duplicated, Furikake Chex Mix image

This is a sweet and spicy Asian variation of Chex mix. There are times I have made this by the bucketful, and it still runs out at parties. I often give this out as Christmas or hostess gifts. Be very careful. This party mix is HIGHLY addictive, very dangerous to keep around in big quantities and may result in some weight gain!This recipe is a combination of a few recipes, one from foodgeeks.com and another from beanpaste.blogspot.com. It also has a few of my own personal touches.

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 1 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups Rice Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Wheat Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Corn Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups honeycomb cereal (optional)
2 cups pretzel sticks (I use Rold Gold brand)
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman. Hawaii people, DO NOT USE Aloha Brand for this!!!)
1/2 cup oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 (2 ounce) bottle Nori Goma Furikake (I prefer Nori Komi Furikake, but it wouldn't let me input Nori Komi Furikake, Mishima brand)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Mix together all the cereals, pretzels, and peanuts in a large baking pan (The tin foil ones that you can buy from the store to roast turkey works really well!).
  • Divide the mixture between two pans.
  • In a medium-sized sauce pan over medium to medium-high heat, melt butter.
  • Add sugar and dissolve well.
  • Add corn syrup, soy sauce, oil, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco Sauce. Stir until blended well. It works best if you heat till it reaches the hard ball stage (about 250 degrees).
  • Pour over cereal mixture, one pan at a time, and mix well.
  • Put into the oven.
  • After 15 minutes, remove from oven, and add one bottle of furikake to each pan. Mix around to evenly distribute furikake and sauce from the bottom.
  • Continue baking for about 1-2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • The cooking time fluauates depending on how crispy you want it, and how humid it is (making this in 90% humidity is a nightmare!).
  • Store in an air-tight container or ziplock bags.
