Seasoned seaweed side dish (Gim-muchim: 김무침)

Prepare 10 sheets of dried seaweed (gim).

Toast the seaweed sheets over a direct medium flame, quickly swiping both sides until they turn greenish and crispy. Alternatively, toast them one by one in a hot, dry skillet.

Mince the garlic and chop the green onions. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

To the bowl, add soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and sesame seeds.

Mix the seasoning ingredients together in the bowl.

Tear the toasted seaweed into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the seasoning sauce.

Using your hand (with a glove), gently toss and mix the seaweed with the seasoning until everything is evenly coated.

Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of extra sesame seeds.
