Tantalizing tempura chips

Fresh poke is delicious by itself. But why not add a crunch for extra oomph?
Store-bought tempura seaweed snacks are small flavored chips that are the perfect receptacle for any type of poke. When assembled and displayed on a tray, these tasty bites of finger food will surely not last long at a party.
Buy your favorite flavor of poke. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or a bit of green chives or green onion and your guests will think you worked hard in the kitchen.
