It’s always lovely to hear how chefs have been using Mara Seaweed in their dishes. Here’s how Yuki Gomi likes to use it: "I use it in all my classes and most of my dishes, especially making soup for the ramen class and gyoza class. I love the light but very deep umami flavour that it gives." Check out @yukiskitchen on Instagram for some great recipes. And to experience the deep umami flavour for yourself, get your seaweed from our online store today.
