Schleswig-Holstein Gomme

Ingredients

Schleswig-Holstein Gomme differs from the original Japanese Gomme in terms of ingredients and flavor profile. While the Japanese version typically uses ingredients like soy sauce and mirin for seasoning, the Schleswig-Holstein adaptation incorporates local herbs and spices to enhance the natural flavors of the seafood. Additionally, the original Gomme may include ingredients like seaweed and tofu, which are replaced in the Schleswig-Holstein version with locally sourced fish and vegetables. We alse have the original recipe for Gomme, so you can check it out.
