Kombu Celery

This vibrant kombu celery dish is a refreshing vegan snack that celebrates the natural crunch of garden-fresh vegetables. By infusing crisp celery sticks with the deep, umami notes of furikake and the aromatic richness of toasted sesame oil, this simple recipe transforms a humble fridge staple into a sophisticated side. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a light, savoury bite that balances salty and nutty flavours perfectly.

Ideal as a healthy midday snack or a unique addition to a Japanese-inspired spread, this dish benefits from a short resting time in the fridge. Chilling the ingredients allows the soy sauce and seaweed-flecked seasoning to penetrate the celery, creating a more intense flavour profile. Serve it chilled with an extra scattering of sesame seeds for added texture.
