Prepare the Rice Paper and Seaweed:
- Cut Mama San Sushi Seaweed Sheets into smaller pieces, about the size of your palm.
- Separate rice paper sheets.
Rolling:
- Take one sheet of rice paper and place a piece of seaweed in the center.
Fold and Seal:
- Fold the rice paper around the seaweed, creating a small parcel. Seal the edges by dampening the rice paper with a little water and pressing the edges together.
Deep Frying:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pan to around 180°C
- Carefully place the rice paper and seaweed parcels into the hot oil, frying until they become golden brown and crispy, usually taking about 1-2 minutes. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Draining and Seasoning:
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the parcels from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- While the parcels are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste.
Cooling:
- Allow the Deep-Fried Rice Paper and Roasted Seaweed parcels to cool slightly before serving.
Serve:
- Arrange the parcels on a serving plate and serve them as a crunchy and flavourful snack.
Optional Dipping Sauce:
Prepare a dipping sauce using soy sauce or a sauce of your choice for additional flavour.
