Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching the kelp stems in boiling water for exactly 2 minutes before cooking removes the characteristic fishy sea smell of seaweed and enhances their satisfying chewy texture.
  • Relying only on salt or soy sauce often results in flat flavor, but adding a small amount of chicken stock ensures a consistently rich, savory side dish every time.
  • For best texture, store freshly cooked kelp stem stir-fry in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serving it chilled brings out a crisp, refreshing, and intensely nutty flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a budget-friendly, crowd-pleasing side dish that can fill your fridge for an entire week for just one thousand won.
  • People who have given up on kelp stem dishes due to strong fishy odors or difficulty achieving proper seasoning.
  • Fans of rich sesame oil flavor and the uniquely chewy, satisfying texture of kelp stems in side dishes.
