Author Notes
I came up with this combo way back when I was living in my old hood in New York. I’d ordered some sushi from a spot next to my apartment—spicy salmon, eel, veggie tempura, the usual suspects—and I was snacking on some Sweet Chili Doritos. When the sushi came, I dug in right away. And I kept eating the chips. And my mind was blown.
Furikake is a Japanese seasoning, traditionally sprinkled on rice. It often consists of nori, bonito flakes, and sesame seeds, but there are tons of variations. Mine has sweet, oniony, garlicky, Doritos twist. Definitely a munchy, cozy vibe. I love to put this on poke bowls, hand rolls, or even on a cucumber salad. The possibilities are endless. Just try to use it up in a day or two to avoid staleness. —Romel Bruno

Doritos Furikake
Ingredients
-
Canola oil, for frying
-
7
large garlic cloves, finely chopped
-
Kosher salt, to taste
-
1
large shallot, thinly sliced into rings
-
1/2 cup
cornstarch
-
1
sheet nori
-
1/3 cup
sesame seeds, toasted
-
1 cup
finely crushed Doritos (Sweet Chili, Cool Ranch, or Spicy Nacho)
-
1/4 cup
bonito flakes
-
1 tablespoon
gochugaru (Korean chile flakes)
Directions
-
To a small pot, add enough canola oil to come halfway up the sides of the pan. Set over medium-high heat and bring to 250°F. (If you don’t have a thermometer, test a piece—it should gently bubble.)
-
Add the garlic to the hot oil. Cook, stirring frequently with a heat-proof spoon, for 3 to 6 minutes, until crispy and light golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried garlic to a paper towel–lined plate. Season with salt.
-
In a small bowl, toss the shallot rings in the cornstarch, then shake off any excess. Return the oil to 250°F, then add the shallot rings. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 6 minutes, until light golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried garlic to a paper towel–lined plate. Season with salt.
-
Mince the nori, either by hand with a knife or scissors, or in a spice grinder.
-
In a large bowl, combine the fried garlic, fried shallot, minced nori, sesame seeds, crushed Doritos, bonito flakes, and gochugaru. Mix until combined, then taste and adjust if needed.
