Ingredients- Salted Sea Mustard Stems 300g
- Onion (small) 1/2
- Carrot a little
- Minced Garlic 1 tsp
- Perilla Oil 1 Tbsp
- Sesame Seeds a little
- Black Pepper a little
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The sea mustard stems we’re using are preserved in salt, like they’ve captured the ocean’s saltiness. They’re too salty to cook right away, so removing the salt is a crucial step.
Step 2
Place the sea mustard stems in a large bowl and add water. You’ll notice the water becoming cloudy and white salt particles settling at the bottom. Discard this salty water, refill with fresh water, and soak for about 30 minutes to remove the saltiness. It’s even better if you change the water once or twice during this time.
Step 3
After 30 minutes, rinse the sea mustard stems under running water and rub them vigorously. This helps effectively remove any remaining salt. Squeeze out the excess water with your hands. Be careful not to squeeze too hard, as it might clump the stems together.
Step 4
Alright, shall we start stir-frying? The ingredients are really simple. Today, we’ll be using onion and carrot.
Step 5
Slice the onion and carrot into thin strips, similar in length to the sea mustard stems. If they’re cut too thick, the texture might feel out of place, so aiming for thin slices is best.
Step 6
Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of perilla oil over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; the key is to achieve a gentle garlic aroma.
Step 7
Once the garlic is fragrant, add the carrots first and stir-fry briefly to keep them crisp. After the carrots are slightly cooked, add all the prepared sea mustard stems and stir-fry over high heat. It’s important to stir-fry quickly to maintain the chewy texture of the sea mustard stems.
Step 8
Once the sea mustard stems are somewhat stir-fried, add the onions and continue to stir-fry them together. The sweetness of the onions will blend with the sea mustard stems, adding a wonderful savory depth.
Step 9
When the onions start to become translucent, it’s almost done. Finally, add 1 tablespoon of perilla oil and a pinch of black pepper to taste. Give it a final quick stir. The nutty aroma of the perilla oil will further enhance the overall flavor.
Step 10
Turn off the heat and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for a delicious finish. The residual heat will gently continue to cook them.
Step 11
Here’s your super simple, perfectly completed stir-fried sea mustard stems! The chewy texture and savory flavor are truly exceptional. This one dish will have you finishing a whole bowl of rice in no time. Enjoy your meal!
