Japanese ‘Furikake’ Fries

Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • For the Seasoning
  • 2 sheets of nori
  • 6 tbsp garlic granules
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds
  • 3 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • For the Fries
  • 1 kg baking potatoes
  • 1.5 litres veg oil, for frying
  • For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • Make the seasoning by mixing the nori, garlic and chilli in a food processor and blitzing until well combined. Transfer to a bowl and stir in all the sesame seeds. Make the fries by thinly slicing the potatoes into matchsticks, and leaving them to soak in a large bowl of cold water for 10 mins or so.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan to sizzling temperature. Pat the matchsticks dry, then fry in batches until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a serving dish, mix together the sticky sauce ingredients and drizzle all over the fries. Sprinkle over the seasoning mix, and serve hot. Delicious!
