Base Ingredients
- 2 cups crispy rice crackers (choose your favorite variety)
- 1/4 cup roasted nuts (almonds, peanuts, or cashews)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons furikake seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dried seaweed flakes (for extra oceanic flavor and color)
- Pinch of chili flakes or togarashi (for spicy twist)
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots (for sweet & savory mix)
- Crunchy roasted chickpeas or pumpkin seeds (as nut-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon dried shiso or basil flakes (for herb infusion)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather rice crackers, furikake seasoning, roasted nuts, sesame seeds, and any optional extras. Lightly toast the nuts and sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant to enhance flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rice crackers along with the toasted nuts and sesame seeds. Sprinkle furikake seasoning evenly over the mixture to ensure consistent flavor distribution.
- Toss Gently: Using a large spoon or your hands, gently toss the mixture to coat the rice crackers evenly without breaking them into crumbs.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the mix and sprinkle additional furikake seasoning or sea salt if desired, keeping in mind you can always add more but not take it away.
- Store or Serve: Transfer the Furikake Crixpix Mix to an airtight container if not eating immediately, or serve right away for the crispiest texture. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a few days.
Notes
- Use fresh furikake seasoning stored properly to maintain vibrant flavors.
- Toast nuts and sesame seeds carefully to avoid burning and bitterness.
- Mix gently to keep rice crackers intact and crunchy.
- Customize boldly by trying different nuts, seeds, or add-ins to find your favorite blend.
- Store the snack in an airtight container to preserve crunch and freshness.
