Broiled Mochi with Nori Seaweed is a delicious Japanese dish. Mochi is a traditional Japanese food made from glutinous rice that has been pounded into a sticky dough. The dough is usually formed into various shapes and then grilled or broiled until crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. In this recipe, the mochi squares are dipped in soy sauce and broiled until golden brown. After cooking, they are sprinkled with crispy strands of nori seaweed, which adds a savory and slightly salty element to this tasty snack or appetizer. Broiled Mochi with Nori Seaweed is perfect for those who want to enjoy a unique and flavorful Japanese dish in the comfort of their own home.

1.	Preheat your oven broiler.
2.	Cut the nori sheet into thin strips.
3.	Dip the frozen mochi squares in soy sauce and coat well.
4.	Place the mochi squares on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5.	Broil the mochi for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
6.	Remove the mochi from the oven, and let them cool for a minute before sprinkling the nori strips on top.
7.	Serve and enjoy!

PROS

Broiled Mochi with Nori Seaweed is a tasty and easy-to-make appetizer or snack.

The combination of savory nori and slightly sweet mochi creates a unique and delightful flavor.

CONS

Mochi can be sticky and tricky to handle.

It’s important to dip them in soy sauce just enough to coat them, as too much soy sauce can make them too salty.

This dish is also high in carbs, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Mochi is made from glutinous rice, which means it has a higher protein and fiber content than regular rice.
Nori seaweed is rich in vitamins and minerals, including iodine, iron, and magnesium.
Both mochi and nori are low in fat and calories, making this dish a healthier snack option than many other appetizers or fast food choices.
