Miso is an aged savory paste made of fermented soybeans, and when added to tomato sauce, it enhances the umami and sweetness of the tomatoes without overpowering them.
Nori seaweed is rich in glutamate amino acids, which enhance the umami flavor. Toasted and blended into a powder, it adds a briny flavor and mild aroma to sauces.
To avoid an overwhelming taste, start with 1½ to 2 tablespoons of miso and 1 teaspoon of nori, adjusting gradually while tasting.
Different types of miso, like yellow and red, can be used in smaller amounts to create more robust tomato sauces, adding earthy dimensions to traditional recipes.
