Notes & Pro Tips

  • Use Kettle chips to hold the toppings without breaking
  • Keep portions small and balanced for a refined bite
  • Seaweed roe adds a natural umami “sea” flavor without fish
  • Finely chop onion to avoid overpowering the bite
  • Serve chilled components on room temperature chips for contrast
  • Add toppings just before serving to maintain crispiness
