RECIPE: Nori Tsukudani Paste
Tsukudani is a traditional Japanese condiment, in which nori (roasted seaweed) is simmered down into a salty, sweet, umami silken paste and typically dolloped on a bowl of steaming rice.
Ingredients:
- 7 seasoned nori packs (featured in our Kyushu-inspired September 2020 Nourishing Essentials Care Package)
- 30ml water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions:
- Tear the nori into small pieces and soak in water for five minutes.
- Loosen with chopsticks and cook over medium heat with sugar and soy sauce until the liquid is almost gone and it turns into a paste.
- Remove from heat and serve scooped atop bowl of rice. Can also be served chilled.
