7
Shred the nori seaweed by crushing it between your fingers and add to the batter from Step 3.
8
Heat a frying pan and pour in the sesame oil.
9
Stir the batter from Step 4 again since the katakuriko will sink to the bottom.

Spoon the mixture onto the frying pan.
11
Check the bottom of the cakes.
12
If they are golden-brown flip over.
13
When both sides are golden-brown, they are done.

All these ingredients can be eaten raw, so it's not necessary to cook these for too long.
