*Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit similar to the lime. Yuzu kosho is grated zest of the yuzu, blended with either green or red chillies. You can pick it up at your local Japanese grocery.
*Nori- toasted sheets of seaweed. The stuff they roll sushi in. If you can’t get it pre-shredded, get a pair of scissors out and use the normal sheets.
