Instructions
Step 1
Soak the sheets of yakinori in water for 5 minutes; drain them. Transfer yakinori to the center of a tea towel and squeeze it to expel the excess liquid.
Step 2
Put yakinori into a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sugar. Bring the nori mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes. Transfer the pickled nori to a bowl and chill it before serving.
