Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a stir-fried sea mustard stem dish today that’s incredibly addictive with rice! It’s perfect as a simple side dish or for packing in lunchboxes, so follow along step by step.
Step 2
Sea mustard stems are quite salty, so it’s crucial to soak them in cold water for about 10-15 minutes to remove excess salt. Once the saltiness is reduced, drain them thoroughly in a colander. This step is key to achieving the best flavor. Now, heat a frying pan and add 1 teaspoon of perilla oil for a nutty aroma.
Step 3
Add the drained sea mustard stems and the julienned carrots to the pan and stir-fry them together. Adding carrots not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a pleasant crunch. Once the sea mustard stems start to soften slightly, it’s time to add all the seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of oligosaccharide, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper for a hint of spice.
Step 4
Continue stir-frying over medium heat until all the ingredients and seasonings are well combined. The sea mustard stems will turn a vibrant green and become tender, indicating they are almost cooked. For the finishing touch, sprinkle a little more black pepper to taste and a generous amount of toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Step 5
And there you have it – a delicious stir-fried sea mustard stem dish! The savory sea mustard stems, crisp carrots, and the harmonious blend of sesame and perilla oils create an exceptional taste. You can serve it over hot rice for a simple donburi-style meal, or enjoy it as a standalone side dish for a satisfying culinary experience.
