Ingredients
- 30 g dried miyeok (seaweed)
- 150 g beef (brisket or sirloin), cut into small cubes
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1.5 liters water
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt to taste
- White rice, for serving
Steps
Soak the dried miyeok in cold water for about 20 minutes until it blooms, then drain and rinse under cold water.
In a pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and sauté for about 5 minutes until browned.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute to release its aroma.
Add the bloomed miyeok to the pot and stir for 2-3 minutes to combine with the beef.
Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to develop the flavors.
Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt to taste. Serve hot with white rice.
Why this works
Blooming dried miyeok rehydrates it, restoring flavor and texture. Sautéing in sesame oil adds a nutty aroma. Beef or anchovy enriches the broth. If too salty, add water to balance. Simmering melds flavors, resulting in a traditional soup enjoyed on birthdays.
