Main Ingredients- 7 sheets of Gopchang Gim (thick, curly laver)
Seasoning- A small amount of green onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp perilla oil (deul-gireum)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- A small amount of green onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp perilla oil (deul-gireum)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a dry pan over medium-low heat. Place the Gopchang Gim on the pan and roast it until it turns a golden brown color, flipping it occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the color deepens and it releases a nutty aroma.
Step 2
Roasted laver can crumble easily, making cleanup messy. To avoid this, place the roasted gim into a resealable plastic bag and crumble it gently with your hands. This keeps all the flakes contained, ensuring a tidy kitchen.
Step 3
Transfer the crumbled gim to a large bowl. Add the finely chopped green onions. While gim alone can be a bit plain, adding other ingredients like chopped scallions or a few other vegetables enhances the texture and flavor profile.
Step 4
Add the perilla oil, soy sauce, and toasted sesame seeds to the bowl. Gently mix everything together with your hands until well combined. This simple yet flavorful seasoning creates a wonderful side dish that highlights the nutty notes of the gim and the aromatic perilla oil. Enjoy making this effortless and delicious treat!
