Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pack seaweed stem 10 oz / about 280g, miyeok julgi 미역줄기
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp garlic (chopped)
  • 1 Tbsp cooking sake or mirin
  • 1/3 tsp salt more or less to taste, sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp sugar or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Take the seaweed stems out of the package. They will come heavily salted.
  2. Rinse away the salt by shaking them in a bowl of water and draining the water out. Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 rinses to completely rinse out any solid sea salt crystals.
  3. In a bowl of fresh water (enough to totally immerse the seaweed and more), add the rinsed seaweed. Let it soak for at least 30-40 minutes or even longer if you want to draw out more salt.
  4. Taste the soaked seaweed stems to test. After soaking, they should taste not salty at all. DRAIN.
  5. Chop some fresh garlic and measure out cooking sake, oil, salt and sugar.
  6. Heat up sesame oil + vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  7. Add the drained seaweed and saute on medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, making sure everything is well coated in oil.
  8. Reduce heat to medium and then add chopped garlic and cooking sake. Saute for about 1 minute.
  9. Season by adding salt. Because your seaweed may have different levels of sodium, I recommend starting with just 1/2 the amount of salt. Taste. Then add more to taste.
  10. Finally, add sugar. Mix and taste. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Turn heat off.
  11. Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve.
