Some time ago I let a lot of nori seaweed get stale so I tried making nori no tsukudani with them. The results were surprisingly tasty, so after some trial and error I got to this recipe!

Amazingly easy and delicious.
Since it's lightly flavored to highlight the natural flavor of the nori, you can eat a lot of it! Lower in salt than usual too! Recipe by Cooking S Papa

Ingredients

  1. 5Nori seaweed
  2. 2 tbspSoy sauce
  3. 1 tbspSugar
  4. 1 tbspMirin
  5. 2 tbspSake
  6. 1to 2 Dried shiitake mushrooms
  7. 50 mlThe soaking liquid from the dried shiitake mushrooms

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Use 5 sheets of stale nori seaweed. You can use fresh crispy nori of course.

  2. 2

    Rip the nori sheets up in a bowl. Add about 200 ml of water, and leave it to soak for more than 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  3. 3

    In the meantime, slice the reconstituted dried shiitake mushrooms. Cut the stems off and slice the caps thinly. Cut the hard end off the stems and slice them up too.

  4. 4

    After 25 minutes the nori looks like this. When it has disintegrated completely into a paste, it's good to go.

  5. 5

    Drain into a sieve.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a pan and add all the flavoring ingredients. Cook over medium heat. When it comes to a boil lower the heat.

  7. 7

    Simmer gently until there's no moisture left in the pan for about 20 minutes

  8. 8

    Tilt the pan; when there's about 1 tablespoon of liquid left in the pan, turn the heat up to high and mix to evaporate that moisture and dry out the nori a little. Be careful not to let it burn.

  9. 9

    When there's almost no moisture left it's done. Store in a jar that's been sterilized in boiling water. Refrigerate when cool.
