Ingredients:
1 ounce wakame*, snipped into 1-in. pieces if in large chunks (about 1 cup)
1 cup dulse* (about 1/2 oz.)

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
2 green onions, sliced

3. Add 1 tbsp. oil to the pan with the garlic and onions; sauté over medium heat until softened, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
4. Add seaweeds, remaining 1 tbsp. oil, and soy sauce. Toss gently to coat well and let stand until dulse is softened, 5 minutes. Mix in sesame seeds.
