Instructions
Look through seaweeds for any small pebbles or debris and discard. Soak wakame and arame in separate bowls with cool water to cover generously until tender, 5 to 12 minutes for wakame and 9 to 10 minutes for arame.
Drain well. Snip dulse into 2-in.-long pieces; don't soak.
Toast sesame seeds in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring often, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add 1 tbsp. oil to the pan with the garlic and onions; saut over medium heat until softened, 1 minute.
Add seaweeds, remaining 1 tbsp. oil, and soy sauce. Toss gently to coat well and let stand until dulse is softened, 5 minutes.
Taste and add rice vinegar if you like.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
