- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon whole sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Mix well to make the sauce.
- Transfer the floured gwari gochu into a microwave-safe dish and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of water evenly over the surface.
- Cover the dish and microwave for 3 minutes.
- Let the gwari gochu jjim cool slightly, then pour the prepared sauce over it and gently toss to combine.

Cooking tips 💡
- The prepared sauce can also be used as a dipping sauce for grilled gim (seaweed).
- Do not apply the sauce immediately after microwaving—let it cool slightly to preserve the texture of the gochu and prevent the coating from falling off.
