Garlic-flavored kelp salad is a popular, refreshing dish that’s easy to prepare with just a few ingredients. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it perfectly.
Ingredients Needed:
- 200g dried kelp, soaked until soft
- 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of chili flakes (optional)
- Fresh cilantro or sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Kelp: Soak dried kelp in cold water for 20-30 minutes until tender. Drain and cut into thin strips, about 5-7 cm long. Blanch the kelp in boiling water for 30 seconds, then rinse with cold water to retain its crispiness. Set aside.
2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves. Adjust flavors to your preference—more soy sauce for saltiness, or vinegar for tang.
3. Combine and Serve: Toss the blanched kelp strips with the dressing evenly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Garnish with cilantro or sesame seeds before serving.
Tips: For extra crunch, soak the kelp in ice water after blanching. You can also add shredded carrots or bell peppers for color and texture. This dish pairs well with rice or as a light appetizer. Enjoy your homemade garlic kelp salad!
