Ingredients
- 8 sheets dried gim (Korean seaweed)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Lightly brush one side of each gim sheet with sesame oil using a pastry brush.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly over the oiled side.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one or two gim sheets, oiled side down, in the skillet.
- Toast for 10-15 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula, until the sheet becomes crisp and slightly darker green.
- Flip and toast the other side for 5-10 seconds. Transfer to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining sheets.
- Once cool, stack the gim sheets or cut into bite-sized pieces with scissors. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) before toasting.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week; re-crisp in a dry skillet if needed.
- Gim is often served as a side dish with rice or crumbled over soups and bibimbap.
