Time 44m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup dried seaweed (such as dulse, arame, or wakame)
2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided, or to taste
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 bunch fresh kale
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons liquid amino acid (such as Bragg®), or to taste
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Rinse seaweed; soak in a bowl with water until softened, about 6 minutes. Drain seaweed; toss with 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and ginger in a large bowl.
  • Soak kale in a bowl with water to loosen dirt; rinse thoroughly. Chop kale into 1-inch strips.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add seaweed mixture; cook until softened, about 1 minute more. Transfer seaweed mixture back to large bowl.
  • Return skillet to heat; heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add kale and liquid amino acid; toss to combine. Cover skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook until kale is just wilted, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove cover; cook and stir until excess moisture evaporates, about 1 minute more.
  • Add kale to seaweed mixture; toss to combine. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. Refrigerate until chilled, 10 to 20 minutes.
