How to cook it
-
Soak the dried wakame in cold water for 15 minutes until it softens and expands, then drain and chop into bite-size pieces.
-
Simmer the dried anchovies in the measured water for 10 minutes, then strain and discard them.
-
Heat the sesame oil in a pot and stir-fry the wakame for 2 minutes so it takes on a little nutty depth.
-
Pour in the anchovy stock, add the soy sauce and minced garlic, and bring to a simmer.
-
Cook 12 minutes until the seaweed is silky and tender, then serve hot.
