Seasoned seaweed

Doljaban muchim is very delicious, flavorful, and one of the easiest side dishes to prepare. The main ingredient, doljaban, is also called gimjaban, and its texture and flavor are very similar to kim (seaweed paper), which is used for making gimbap. If you like the flavor of kim, you’ll love this side dish. It’s one of my favorite side dishes for doshirak (Korean lunch in a box).

Ingredients

Doljaban, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds.
