This savory and delicious seasoned laver is an absolute delight with rice, making it a fantastic everyday side dish.
Ingredients
- 5 sheets of Gim (Korean dried laver, specifically Parae-gim)
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp Oligodang (or corn syrup/honey)
- 1 tsp Sesame Oil
- A pinch of Toasted Sesame Seeds
- A little bit of Scallions (chopped)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s make the ultimate rice-stealing seasoned laver! This recipe is so straightforward, anyone can achieve a delicious result.
Step 2
First, take your dried laver sheets and gently toast them in a dry frying pan over low heat until they become crispy. Once toasted, place the laver sheets into a plastic bag and crumble them into bite-sized pieces. It’s best to leave some texture rather than making it too fine.
Step 3
Now it’s time to mix in the seasoning. In a bowl, combine the crumbled laver with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of oligodang (or syrup/honey), 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a pinch of toasted sesame seeds, and the chopped scallions. Gently mix everything together with your hands, like you’re massaging it (‘jomal jomal’), ensuring the seasoning coats the laver evenly. Be careful not to over-mix, as it can make the laver mushy.
Step 4
For the final touch, sprinkle a little more chopped scallions and sesame seeds on top for a beautiful presentation. This step not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a fresh aroma and flavor.
Step 5
And there you have it – a perfectly savory and flavorful seasoned laver! This is an excellent side dish for any meal. It’s especially a wonderful way to use up dried laver that has become a bit soft or has been stored for some time. Transform leftover laver into this delicious treat instead of discarding it!
