Super Simple Seasoned Seaweed (Kim Muchim) Recipe
Easy Home-Style Seasoned Seaweed – A Family Favorite!
My family absolutely loves seaweed! Since I received a generous gift of many packs of seaweed, I’ve been busy making various dishes with it. Today, I’m sharing my go-to recipe for super simple seasoned seaweed, which is a huge hit. It’s so delicious it’ll make you finish a bowl of rice in no time!
Seaweed- 20 sheets of raw seaweed (gim)
Vegetables- 1/2 green onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 green onion, finely chopped
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, you’ll need 20 sheets of raw seaweed (gim). Using raw seaweed will result in a crispier and more flavorful seasoned dish compared to pre-roasted seaweed.
Step 2
Now, let’s toast the seaweed. Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place all 20 sheets of seaweed in the pan and toast them over low heat, stirring gently and constantly, until they turn a vibrant, fresh green color. This should only take about 2-3 minutes. You’ll notice a delicious nutty aroma as they toast.
Step 3
Once the seaweed is nicely toasted, it’s time to break it into bite-sized pieces. Carefully place all 20 toasted seaweed sheets into a sealable plastic bag.
Step 4
Seal the bag tightly and then gently crush the seaweed inside using your hands. Avoid crushing it too finely; leaving some texture will make the seasoned seaweed more enjoyable to eat.
Step 5
Next, we’ll prepare the flavorful seasoning sauce. In a bowl, combine the finely chopped green onion with all the seasoning ingredients: 5 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide, 2 Tbsp crushed sesame seeds, 3 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 Tbsp rice wine. Mix everything together thoroughly. (Apologies for not having a photo of the seasoning, but it’s a simple mix of these ingredients!)
Step 6
We’re almost there! Pour the prepared seasoning sauce evenly over the crushed seaweed in the bowl. Ensure the sauce coats the seaweed well for maximum flavor.
Step 7
Finally, gently toss the seaweed to distribute the seasoning evenly. And there you have it – your super simple and delicious seasoned seaweed is ready! It’s the perfect side dish that pairs wonderfully with a hot bowl of steamed rice. Enjoy!
