Gim, also known as nori, is a type of seaweed and is high in iron, magnesium,

Preparation:
Spiced sweet potato fries:
1. Preheat the oven to 200C.
Peel the sweet potatoes, slice to a
thickness of 1 cm, and as evenly
as possible. Slicing it too thick
means fries wont crisp well, while
slicing it too thin may burn it.
2. Place the fries in a bowl of
cold water and leave it in the
refrigerator for an hour. Once
that is done, drain the water and
pat dry the fries with a clean
kitchen towel or kitchen paper.
3. Toss the fries into a large bowl
or a large resealable bag. Sprinkle
the fries with cornstarch* (see recipe notes), mix/shake to distribute it evenly (there should not be
patches of white powdery spots).
Next, pour in just enough olive oil
to coat the fries. Season with salt,
pepper, and spices (I usually mix
these togther before adding to the
fries).
4. Arrange your fries in a single
row on a baking tray lined with
parchment paper and dont
overcrowd, otherwise they will
never crisp up
(too much moisture
release prevent potatoes
from crisping). Bake in two
batches, if necessary.
5. Bake for 12 minutes, then flip
the fries with tongs so they can
cook on both sides. I usually do
this after removing the baking
tray from the oven to my tabletop.
6. Bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fries are crispy.
Open the door two or three times
during baking to let some hot
steam escape (dont worry, you
are not baking a cake so it is perfectly okay!). You know the fries
are done when they changed to
a more matte, caramelised, and
puffed up texture. Its essential
to bake them long enough (but
not burnt), otherwise they wont
be crisp. Turn off the oven, leave
the oven door open, and let the
fries rest for about 10 minutes
this will help crisp up the fries.
