Seaweed Soup

Ingredients:

Cooking Example

Dried seaweed 1 oz, beef for soup stock 8 oz (or beef stock), 3 cloves of garlic, 3 Tbs of soy sauce for soup, sesame seed oil

Beef Seasoning  1 ½ Tbs of sesame seed oil, ground black pepper

*Soy sauce for soup is called Kook Ganjang.  Regular soy sauce is called Ganjang. 

 

Directions:
  1. Soak dried seaweed in a bowl.  In about 10 minutes, take the seaweed, and cut into desired length.
  2. Cut beef (or use beef stock) small pieces and season with sesame weed oil and ground black pepper. 
  3. Slice garlic thinly. 
  4. In a big pot, drop some sesame seed oil, and stir in beef and seaweed and cook until meat is done.  Pour 4 cups of water and boil. 
  5. Put garlic into the pot and put soy sauce for soup.
  6. Boil soup for about 10 minutes and taste to see if it needs more soy sauce.

*** Koreans make this soup for birthdays or for women who just had baby.  I make this almost once a week because I like the soup and it is full of minerals, and seaweed itself is 0 calorie.
