What goes with Nori?
Roasted nori is a thin dried seaweed sheet whose flavour is concentrated by its low moisture. The surface feels papery and fractures readily when dry, but becomes flexible and adhesive on contact with water. Its savoury taste, toasted aroma and dark green marine character vary with the sheet and roasting intensity; unsalted nori should not be described as a seasoned snack.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Nori?
Use neutral starch or mild fat when the seaweed should remain clearly recognisable. Juicy ingredients create contrast but soften a sheet quickly, so separate assembly from advance preparation. Roasted nuts and brown sugar can extend its toasted register in a sweet construction, while restrained acidity interrupts its lingering savour. Avoid assuming every marine ingredient needs more salt or a stronger seaweed dose.
