Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently rub the salted kelp strips in cold water and rinse them thoroughly multiple times to remove excess salt. If you have whole kelp, slice it thinly into strips before cooking.
Step 2
Remove the stems and seeds from the Cheongyang peppers, then mince them finely. If you prefer more spice, feel free to increase the amount of peppers.
Step 3
Finely chop the white part of the green onion. The aroma of the green onion will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 4
Squeeze out any excess water from the kelp strips and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then, add the minced Cheongyang peppers, minced green onion, and fish sauce, and begin to gently mix them together.
Step 5
Add the remaining seasoning ingredients: minced garlic, sugar, gochugaru, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Taste and adjust the sugar to your preference for sweetness.
Step 6
Arrange the well-seasoned kelp strips attractively on a plate. The chewy texture of the kelp combined with the deep, savory umami of the fish sauce creates a delightful side dish that will make you want to finish your entire bowl of rice!
