Instructions
TO MAKE THE VEGAN SCALLOPS

TO MAKE THE SEAWEED-MATCHA BUTTER
- Combine the softened vegan cultured butter with the ochazuke wakame seasoning and matcha powder.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain well.
TO SERVE
- Toss the pasta with the seaweed butter (start with half and add more in as desired) and divide into bowls. Top with the vegan scallops and sesame seeds. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
