Drain the artichokes and mix in nori flakes.

Dip the rice paper in warm water for about 3-4 seconds until soft.

Transfer the rice paper to a work surface and place artichokes inside.

Fold the rice paper over the top and roll tightly to secure the contents.

Combine 3/4 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika in a bowl.

Slowly add 1/2 cup of water to the dry mixture while mixing until the batter is thick but can coat evenly.

Place each piece of rice paper-wrapped artichoke in the batter and transfer for frying.

If using an air fryer, set it to 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.

If frying in oil, heat oil in a small skillet until about 1 inch deep.

Place the parcels in hot oil and deep-fry for about 2 minutes, flipping halfway through, then fry for another 2 minutes.

Remove from oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
