Instructions

Step 1 

Place the doraji in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and pour warm water over it. Soak for about 10 hours. (Tip: Soaking in salt water helps remove the bitterness and improves the flavor.)

Drain the soaked doraji, then rub it with 1 tablespoon of salt. Rinse it in cold water and squeeze out the excess moisture.

In a pan, add the doraji, 2/3 tablespoon of tuna fish sauce (or a pinch of salt), 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Mix well.

Step 4 

Stir-fry over medium-low heat. (Tip: If it starts to dry out, add a little kelp water for extra moisture and flavor.)

Step 5 

Cover and cook for 2 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon of ground sesame seeds and mix. 

Your soft and flavorful doraji side dish is done!
