Taco Shells

  1. 1

    Prepare Nori Taco Shells

    In a bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Cut the nori sheets into taco-sized squares.

  2. 2

    Shape and Cook

    Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each nori square into the cornstarch mixture, then place in the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds on each side until crispy. Remove and let cool.

Caviar Filling

    In a bowl, combine black sesame seeds, chia seeds, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to swell.
