- A little water
- 2 Tbsp coarse salt
Seasoning Ingredients- 3 Tbsp vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (jin ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic

- 3 Tbsp vinegar

- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (jin ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 2 bundles of fresh laver (palae). To remove any mud, small stones, or impurities that might be attached, dissolve 2 tablespoons of coarse salt in enough water to submerge the laver.
Step 2
Add the laver to the salt water and gently rub it with your hands, as if scrubbing away impurities, to clean it thoroughly. It’s important to handle the laver gently to prevent it from clumping together.
Step 3
Rinse the cleaned laver and place it in a colander. Under running cold water, rinse the laver multiple times until all the saltiness is completely gone. Tasting it to ensure there’s no lingering saltiness is sufficient.
Step 4
Squeeze out excess water from the laver and cut it into bite-sized pieces. For optimal texture, cut it into 2-3 cm lengths using scissors. Avoid squeezing too hard, as this can dry out the laver and affect its texture; gently press with your hands to remove moisture.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious seasoning. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of red pepper flakes (gochugaru), 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Mix them well. Finally, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma.
Step 6
Add the laver, with its excess water gently squeezed out, to the prepared seasoning. Also, add the thinly sliced onion and chopped green onion.
Step 7
Gently toss and mix everything with your hands until the seasoning is well distributed throughout the ingredients. Taste the dish and if it feels bland, add a little more soy sauce to adjust the seasoning to your preference. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the laver to become mushy.
Step 8
Your delicious seasoned laver (palae muchim), full of fresh ocean flavor, is ready! This seasonal delicacy makes for a wonderful side dish that will whet your appetite, so be sure to try making it!
