Green Nori Sprinkle (Clearsring) 20g

Product Information

Nori can come in many different grades and qualities ranging from the very cheap to the very expensive and in various forms from raw through to toasted, although if you do buy it raw you will need to toast it before you eat it. Next, add optional flavorings such as bonito flakes, dried herbs (I used dried parsley), and dried chili pepper such as gochugaru or togarashi. Wasabi powder is another option for spicy furikake. Taste and adjust the salt and sugar to your liking. After washing with fresh water, it is shredded reducing the individual pieces to sheets of about 0.5cm x 1cm. Fresh water is added and the mixture poured into a frame. Shimbo, Hiroko (2001). The Japanese kitchen: 250 recipes in a traditional spirit. Harvard Common Press. p.128. ISBN 1558321772. Unlike wakame, kombu, and hijiki, which are sold in the form of individual leaves, nori is sold as a sheet made from small, soft, dark brown algae, which have been cultivated in bays and lagoons since the middle of the Edo Era (1600 to 1868). The technique of drying the collected algae on wooden frames was borrowed from famous Japanese paper-making industry.
