Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid high heat when frying seaweed—it burns easily and develops a bitter taste. Always use medium-low or low heat.
  • Never add seaweed to hot sauce—this causes clumping and sogginess. Always wait until the sauce has cooled slightly.
  • The final 1/2 tablespoon of sugar helps absorb surface moisture, maximizing the crisp, crunchy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to use dried seaweed in dishes other than soups.
  • People who enjoy crispy, salty side dishes similar to seasoned seaweed flakes (gimjaban).
  • Those looking for a side dish that highlights the crisp texture of dried seaweed.
