- 1/2 stalk green onion (finely chopped, white parts preferred)
- 1 tsp minced garlic (adjust to your preference for garlic flavor)
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds (essential for a nutty flavor)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, carefully add the sea purslane.
Step 2
As the water returns to a boil, add 1 tsp of coarse sea salt. This helps maintain the crisp texture of the sea purslane and removes any slight bitterness.
Step 3
Blanch the sea purslane for approximately 20 seconds, just until it slightly wilts. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become mushy. Immediately rinse the blanched sea purslane under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Gently squeeze out any excess water by hand.
Step 4
Place the squeezed sea purslane into a mixing bowl. Add the finely chopped green onion.
Step 5
Add 1 tsp of minced garlic. If you enjoy a stronger garlic flavor, feel free to add a little more.
Step 6
Add 1 tsp of fine salt. Remember that the coarse salt used for blanching already added some saltiness, so taste and adjust the amount of fine salt as needed.
Step 7
Finally, add 2 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and 1 Tbsp of sesame oil to enhance the flavor. Gently mix everything together until the seasonings are well distributed. Your refreshing and delicious Sea Purslane Salad is now ready to enjoy as a springtime treat!
