Crispy & Delicious Low-Carb GIM-JOBAN (Seaweed Flakes) Stir-Fry
[Diet] Korean Style KETO – Low Carb High Fat GIM-JOBAN Stir-Fry
Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe for ‘Low-Carb High-Fat Gim-Joban Stir-Fry’ that you can enjoy without worrying about carbohydrates. Gim-joban itself is an excellent ingredient for a low-carb, high-fat diet because it’s low in calories and has a minimal carbohydrate content. While store-bought Gim-joban stir-fry is delicious, why not try making your own with carefully selected ingredients for a healthier and tastier experience? By stir-frying it with healthy oils, this Gim-joban dish is not only suitable for the low-carb, high-fat diet but also recommended as a healthy side dish or a satisfying snack for the general public, those with metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, or diabetes. Nutritional information is provided below!
Ingredients- Laver seaweed flakes (Gim-joban) 28g
- Olive oil 5 Tbsp
- Toasted sesame seeds 1 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Gim-joban. If you don’t have a scale, 28g is roughly the amount that will generously fill a 12-inch (30cm) frying pan. Once you have all the Gim-joban detached, gently heat the frying pan over medium heat. Before the pan gets too hot, generously drizzle in avocado oil or olive oil. Controlling the heat is crucial, so ensure you add enough oil before you smell any burning.
Step 2
It’s important to prevent the Gim-joban from burning. If you’re concerned about it burning, reduce the heat to medium-low. Of course, lowering the heat may increase the cooking time slightly. Don’t just leave the Gim-joban in the pan; continuously stir and toss it with chopsticks or tongs. The key is to mix it in a way that coats every piece evenly with oil.
Step 3
Using long, large tongs can be convenient for stir-frying Gim-joban, but if you don’t have them, chopsticks will work just fine with diligent stirring and tossing. The Gim-joban might appear moist at first, but it’s done when it develops a crispy texture when you taste a piece. The cooking time can vary depending on the heat, so taste-test it periodically to check for doneness before turning off the heat.
Step 4
Be careful, as the Gim-joban turning too yellow or a deep green indicates it’s burning. Stir-fry it only until it achieves a delicious golden hue. Transfer the well-stir-fried Gim-joban to a container.
Step 5
Finally, generously sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the Gim-joban, and your delicious Gim-joban stir-fry is complete!
Step 6
When you sprinkle the sesame seeds on top, they will naturally filter down and mix evenly with the Gim-joban. While you probably won’t eat it all at once, this Gim-joban stir-fry contains only about 2g of total carbohydrates (excluding fiber) per serving, making it a guilt-free snack. It’s perfect for munching on when you have a craving instead of chips, and I sometimes enjoy it as a meal with other side dishes instead of rice. Absolutely do not add salt or sugar! It’s incredibly delicious on its own.
