Asparagus, Edamame & Kombu (Kelp) Pasta

Today I cooked Asparagus Pasta, which is a very popular dish. Some people season it with Lemon Juice, some people add Cream, and I was going to season it with Soy Sauce. ‘Olive Oil, Garlic and Soy Sauce’ is a great combination, and I love the the flavour. However, I added Seasoned Kombu (Kelp) that is called ‘Shio Kombu’ (塩こんぶ) in Japanese. ‘Shio Kombu’ is strongly seasoned with Soy Sauce and it is often used as a seasoning. Yes, I added Parmesan. You probably have no idea how this dish tastes like. You need to cook it and taste it. If you couldn’t find ‘Shio Kombu’, you can add some Soy Sauce instead.
