Rinse two or three times and drain. Cut into bite-size pieces, if necessary. Toss chicken in a large bowl with garlic, tamari and 2 teaspoons oil. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring often, until no longer pink on the outside, about 1 minute. Add the drained miyuk and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes more. Add broth; bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the top. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds, if desired. Tips Tips: Miyuk (also labeled sea mustard or wakame) is a type of wrinkly brown seaweed, widely enjoyed by Koreans in soup. It's often sold precut into strips and expands greatly as it soaks in liquid.
