Korean Seaweed Stem Side Dish (Miyeok Julgi Bokkeum)
Ingredients
- 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
- Take the seaweed stems out of the package. They will come heavily salted.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste the soaked seaweed stems to test. After soaking, they should taste not salty at all. DRAIN.
- Chop some fresh garlic and measure out cooking sake, oil, salt and sugar.
- Heat up sesame oil + vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
- Add the drained seaweed and saute on medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes, making sure everything is well coated in oil.
- Reduce heat to medium and then add chopped garlic and cooking sake. Saute for about 1 minute.
- 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.
- Finally, add sugar. Mix and taste. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Turn heat off.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve.
