How to cook
Rinse away the salt by shaking them in a bowl of water and draining the water out. Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 rinses to completely rinse out any sea salt crystals
In a bowl of fresh water (enough to totally immerse the seaweed and more), add the rinsed seaweed. Let it soak for at least 30-40 minutes
Taste the soaked seaweed stems to test if enough salt has been drawn out. At this point, they should taste not salty at all. DRAIN.
Chop some fresh garlic and measure out cooking sake, oil, salt and sugar
Heat up sesame oil + vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and Adjust seasoning to your taste.
Optionally, sprinkle some chopped green onions for color. There you go!! Enjoy!!
