Step 1

First, prepare all your ingredients.

Step 2

Rinse the sea mustard thoroughly under running water, rubbing it gently to remove any dirt or sliminess. You might usually use coarse salt for cleaning, but I found rinsing it multiple times with water works perfectly well. Once cleaned, gently squeeze out excess water.

Step 3

Cut the sea mustard into bite-sized pieces, about two finger-widths long, so they are not too large.

Step 4

Place the cut sea mustard into a mixing bowl.

Step 5

Finely chop about 2 tablespoons of green onion (or scallion).

Step 6

Add the chopped green onion, 1/3 tablespoon of minced garlic, and a pinch of ground sesame seeds to the bowl with the sea mustard. Gently mix and massage everything together with your hands until well combined.

Step 7

Taste a small piece of the seasoned sea mustard. If it needs more salt, gradually add a tiny pinch of salt (or soy sauce) at a time until it reaches your desired flavor.

Step 8

Finally, sprinkle a pinch of whole sesame seeds over the top. Your quick and easy seasoned sea mustard is now ready to enjoy! This simple yet flavorful dish is a perfect side.
