Deep-fried Laver Seaweed

• 115 g/4 oz laver seaweed
• flour
• vegetable oil for deep-frying
• <

Wash the laver seaweed thoroughly. You will have to wash it many times to remove the sand, which adheres to it. Leave the seaweed to drain in a colander and then dry thoroughly. Tear the laver into strips, dip it in flour and shake off the excess.

Deep-fry the laver until crisp, about 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with ground roasted Schezuan pepper and salt. Serve as a nibble with drinks.
