Main Ingredients- 12 sheets of Gim (dried seaweed)
- Scallions, chopped to your preference
Seasoning- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- Toasted Sesame Seeds, for garnish
- 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious seasoning that will bring the Kim Muchim to life! In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. This ensures a well-blended, richer flavor.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the star ingredient, the gim! Lightly toast the 12 sheets of gim in a frying pan. Be careful not to overcook; the key is to maintain its crispness. Once slightly cooled, tear the gim into bite-sized pieces by hand or place them in a plastic bag and gently crumble them. It’s best to leave some texture rather than making it too fine.
Step 3
Place the crumbled gim into a larger bowl. Add the finely chopped scallions generously. The aromatic quality of the scallions will further enhance the flavor of your Kim Muchim.
Step 4
Pour the prepared seasoning mixture evenly over the gim and scallions. It’s important to ensure the seasoning coats all the gim pieces thoroughly.
Step 5
Now, put on some disposable gloves and gently mix everything together with your hands, making sure the seasoning is well distributed. Gently toss until the gim is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning. Finally, transfer the delicious Kim Muchim to a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for an extra nutty aroma. Enjoy this delightful homemade side dish!
