Cooking up a Storm with Nori Pasta
Now that we’ve got the lowdown on seaweed’s superpowers, it’s time to whip up some magic in the kitchen! Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 10 oz spaghetti (or your favorite pasta)
- 5 sheets of dried seaweed (gim/nori)
- 1/3 cup mixed nuts
- 1/4 cup truffle oil
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Yondu, Korean fermented vegetable sauce (you can substitute it with fish sauce or tsuyu)
Cook your pasta according to the package instructions.
While your pasta is cooking, let’s toast the nori over a flame or in a dry pan until it turns from brown-ish to green-ish. A quick tip: keep an eye on it because it toasts faster!
Once your nori is nice and toasty, (I like it super toasty!) tear it up and toss it in a blender along with the mixed nuts, truffle oil, avocado oil, soy sauce, and Yondu. Add some pasta water to make things nice and smooth – we aim for creamy perfection!
Transfer your pasta to a bowl and pour that luscious sauce. Give it a good mix, and voila!

Delicious even with olive oil in place of truffle oil and fish sauce instead of yondu. It has a strong seaweed smell and I worried that it might be overwhelming but it’s very tasty and definitely cravable!
Wonder if we can adapt for miyeok instead of gim… time to experiment!
