Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ¼ cup white sesame seeds
  • 4 teaspoons black sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup nori cut or crumpled into tiny bits
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons sugar or coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ichimi togarashi or gochugaru
  • ½ teaspoon wasabi powder optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast the white and black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, crumbled nori, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. If using optional additions, add the ichimi togarashi or wasabi powder and stir to evenly distribute.
  4. Transfer the furikake to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place.

Notes

Make sure to watch the sesame seeds carefully while toasting, as they can burn quickly. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar, salt, and spices based on your flavor preferences. For a creative twist, consider adding other ingredients like dried herbs or different types of seaweed.
