Nori? I do have sheets of nori in my pantry, along with a long-standing ambition to make gimbap.
Nori for sure. I am a real sushi "laver"!
Nori. Not being a fan of it, I don't have any.
yes, nori for sure, also another type of red algae "Irish Moss" is used to thicken ice cream
Nori - but I totally cheated (I mean, "researched") and looked it up on your blog. I do have it in my pantry, although I think I have only used it once.
Nori for sure-i! I have sheets and the little Korean rice grabbers, as well as the desire to make gimbap -- thanks for the reminder, Nupur!
Nori, and mine is in my fridge.
I keep making a roll or two at a time and it takes a while to use the whole thing up.
Cousin Martin, you're a hoot!
Mmmm. I have toasted and salted nori. I love taking sheets of it and picking up rice with it. I started buying it after eating it at a Korean friend's house. Mmmmm.
