Step 1

Put all the Broth ingredients in a pot and bring it to a boil.

Step 2

Take one yaki nori sheet at a time, put it through in a quick motion directly over the heat of an electric cooktop, or over a heated large frying pan on a gas cooktop that is set to high (note 3). Do this several times on both sides until the sheet becomes crisp.

Step 3

Fold the nori sheets into quarters (so that you can handle them easily) and tear the sheets into small bite-size pieces - about 2.5cm/1” (note 4).

Step 4

Put the nori pieces in a serving bowl and place harishōga on it.

Step 5

Pour the hot broth over the nori pieces and serve immediately.
