Beef Seaweed Soup, Miyeok Guk

Ingredients: (For 4 servings)

• 1oz (30g) dried seaweed
• 7oz (200g) beef
• 1 small onion
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce for soup
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1t salt
• 8 cups of water

 Instructions

Soak some dried seaweed in cold water for about 20 minutes.

Cut the beef into appropriate sizes, not too thick, and against the grain for a tender texture.

Once the seaweed is well soaked, rinse it once or twice. Squeeze out the moisture, then cut it into suitable sizes.

In a pot, add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and the seaweed. Stir-fried well. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce for soup and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and stir-fry over high heat until the meat turns brown. Add about 8 cups of water and a small onion and let it simmer to enhance the broth's flavor. Boil with the lid off until the broth starts to bubble.

When the broth starts to boil, cover the lid and simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the onion and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Season with salt to taste. Very nutritious and delicious seaweed soup is done!
