Also, I call for a relatively modest amount of
dried seaweed here, and nori itself is relatively mild in flavor, but if you think you want a more pronounced sea vegetable flavor - feel free to increase the amount to 1/2 ounce - or
add it to taste.
In my own bed, I
add bread to feed the bacteria and speed up fermentation, garlic and ginger to amp up the flavor, dashi kombu (
dried seaweed) to
add umami and depth, and chile peppers to repel pantry bugs.
