Hello!
Thank you for taking your time to read the post about seaweed soup.
Today, I'm going to take you step by step on how to make it at home.
Don't worry! It's pretty simple process once you have the ingredients.
Before we start, here are some tips on buying dried seaweed.
-Please buy dried seaweed specifically made for this soup from Korean market.
-If you find pre-cut dried seaweed, you are in luck ;)
-Anyone cooking this soup for the first time, buy the smallest package of dried seaweed.
Let's start with ingredients for 3-4 servings!
-20g of dried seaweed
-150-200g of beef (filet mignon, ribeye, chuck, round steak, etc) cut into smaller cubes
-1/4-1/2 tsp of salt
-5-6 cups of water
-1 Tsp of soy sauce (Kikkoman soy sauce works just fine)
-1-2 Tsp of sesame oil
Optional: 1 Tsp of fish sauce, 1 Tsp of minced garlic
1. Soak dried seaweed in cold water for 5 minutes and drain and squeeze water out as much as possible.
If you are not using pre-cut seaweed, cut seaweed into one bite size.
2. Pre-heat a pot on medium heat for 10s and add the sesame oil and seaweed.
(If the pot gets too hot, let it cool down before adding sesame oil)
(Stiring seaweed in sesame oil gets rid of fishy taste)
Stir them for 30s and add meat and stir again for 1-2 minutes until meat is partially cooked.
3. Add water, soy sauce, salt, fish sauce and garlic.
Cover the pot and boil it on medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
Adjust the taste with salt.
(limit the use of soy sauce since it will make the soup murky)
Add more water if needed.
4. Enjoy the soup by itself or serve with steamed white rice!
For dog lovers, non-seasoned seaweed soup is very good for dogs.
I make seaweed soup for my fur baby on her birthdays and her sick days.
You can use the recipe above as long as you take all of the seasoning ingredients out such as soy sauce, salt, garlic, fish oil and sesame oil.
**Please make sure to cut cooked seaweed into very little pieces (Koreans love to use scissors)
Hope you guys find this helpful!
