How did I come up with this recipe?
One day, I was eating dinner with my husband and we were having fries. I asked him, "How can I make fries more Asian tasting" lol. And it came to my mind - seaweed! We Asian people love seaweed. It's such a delicious snack on its own especially when it's the seasoned kind.
So I decided to wrap a fry in some seasoned seaweed, dipped it in some mayo and bam, this recipe was born! And then I started googling to see if this recipe existed online. But I discovered McDonald's already beat me to the race with their McDonald's nori fries....thanks McD's.
Unlike their nori fries, I decided to elevate this dish by seasoning the fries with some garlic powder, sesame oil and sesame seeds as well. Sesame and seaweed are a MATCHMADE in food heaven.

4 pieces of seasoned seaweed strips, cut into thin matchsticks
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Where can I find these ingredients?
You can purchase sesame oil and sesame seeds at any asian grocer.
As for the Japanese mayo, this is a special creamy mayo by the brand Kewpie and it looks like this. It tastes similar to regular mayo but it's much creamier.
