Just a warning, I'm not sure how valid this is, but I've read that Kombu = Umami. So seaweed is seaweed, right? Well, I can tell you that there is seaweed and then there is seaweed. Well, I tried adding it to a spinach and mushroom dish and it was disgusting. I won't make that mistake again. Never use nori to replace kombu for umami. Even then, consider using the kombu as a a wrap. like a banana leave...
