This quick and easy crunchy topping is intended as a component of a Korean-flavored clam recipe. It's made with store-bought fried onions, shallots, and garlic, plus strips of teriyaki-flavored nori. As a stand-alone topping, it would also be delicious sprinkled onto pastas, rice dishes, and stews.
Note: Fried onions, garlic, and shallots are available at Asian markets, specialty food stores, and online. Alternatively, you could thinly slice and fry your own garlic, shallots, and red onion until browned and crisp. Terikayi-flavored nori strips are also available in specialty grocers, Asian markets, and online.
