Recipe
Ingredients
- Chicken
- Seaweed powder(Aonori)

Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Remove or minimize garlic and five-spice from the chicken marinade, seasoning simply with soy sauce, wine, and a little sugar (to bring seaweed aroma to the forefront).
- Coat with sweet potato flour and fry crispy. Flash-frying basil is often omitted here as it clashes with seaweed.
- [Seaweed Salt Powder] Blend pulverized toasted seaweed (or Aonori) with premium salt, a little white pepper, and a secret pinch of sugar.
- Place hot, drained chicken in a large bowl, sprinkle seaweed powder until the surface is lightly green, and shake.
