Apparently this is old news amongst Japanese mums and housewives, but I was so excited to find about edible seaweed cups or, if you prefer a direct translation, ready-to-eat nori cups (そのまま食べられるのりカップ) that I just had to try them!
I don’t often make bento for myself or the hubs but I thought we could have mini sushi parties at home and the size of the cups would help with portion control! The “M” sized cups are only slightly larger than the size of mini-cupcake wrappers so they’re great for making bite-sized sushi. Each cup is separated by paper liners, making it easy to unstack the individual cups.
The roasted seaweed tastes great and the cups are easier to use than expected. When filling these cups, it is best not to use ingredients that contain too much sauce and the rice needs to be cooled. Serve immediately to avoid the cups losing their shape.
Not only do these nori cups make for a healthy snack, they also cut down on packaging waste, so they’re good for you and the environment!
Wow!!! Thanks for the info! I have to try the edible seaweed cups then:D
Yes!!! I asked a friend to ship them from Japan — I think they sell them on Amazon JP or at Tokyu Hands! 🙂
Exciting!!! I’ll ask my friends to ship them from Japan too:D Cheers!!!
COOL
That is so cool, and looks really good!
It’s fun to make! Hmm…I don’t remember seeing any Japanese restaurants in Iceland. But maybe I had sushi at the Blue Lagoon? Haha.
