Dried seaweed, onions and soy sauce is all you need!
 |
| our staple soup - miyok gook |
Preparation: Soak 1/2 cup of dried seaweed in water (20 minutes~ or until bloated).
Serves 2 bowls or more.
- Saute 1/2 of an onion(diced) until clear (use good quality oil - grape/olive/sesame oil).
- Add soaked dried seaweed, saute with the onions for a minute over medium heat.
- Add 1 TB (tablespoon) of soy sauce and let simmer (low heat) and cover for 3 minutes.
- Add enough water until consistency of soup desired : I usually add enough water for seaweed to level with water - it's your preference.
- Cover and boil for 7 minutes - taste & season with 1 tsp of soy sauce or pinch of salt if desired.
That is it! Very easy.
Using good quality seaweed and ingredients (oil, soy sauce) makes a huge difference.
I prefer a very chunky hearty seaweed soup with just enough water and less salt.
Food is medicine!
Love the simplicity of this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI added a lttle bit of beef stock and sesame seeds to finish for extra flavour, though I couldn't manage to keep the seaweed green.
Shall I put in dry instead of soaking?
Thank you! That sounds like a nice addition - beef stock and sesame seeds. The "dried seaweed" tends to get green when cooked when it's the "softer" part of a seaweed (if I am not wrong here). It's your preference in taste and color, but I think it doesn't change the taste as much.
