1
Soak the Seaweed
In a large bowl, combine the dried seaweed with 3 cups of water. Allow it to soak for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes tender and rehydrates.
2
Drain and Rinse
Once the seaweed is rehydrated, drain the water and rinse the seaweed under cold running water to remove excess salt and impurities.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and golden, but not burnt.
5
Add Soy Sauce and Oils
Reduce the heat to low, then add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan. Stir to combine.
6
Add Red Pepper Flakes
Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, adjusting the amount based on your spice preference. Stir well to incorporate.
7
Combine with Seaweed
Add the drained seaweed to the pan, tossing it gently in the garlic sauce to coat evenly. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
