Korean Seaweed Soup - Miyeok Guk

This seaweed soup has a lot of nutritious value. Seaweed is believed to stimulate healthy milk production for nursing moms, an excellent blood cleanser and supports optimal brain function.  It is traditionally made on birthdays, for students studying for exams, for women who have given birth or just because you feel like it, which is my case.




Ingredients:
-1 oz dried seaweed
-6 cups of water
-3 garlic cloves
-110 grams of sirloin meat
-1 tablespoon of sesame oil
-1 tablespoon of soy sauce
-Salt to taste







Instructions:

Soak the seaweed in
water for about 10 minutes,
until it becomes soft.
Mince the garlic & chop the meat
into small pieces.  Drain & rinse the
seaweed and cut into 2 inch pieces. 














Saute the meat
in sesame oil.
Add the seaweed  and soy sauce and
saute for about 1 minute.













Add the water and garlic and bring to a boil.
Let it simmer for 20 minutes, until it looks milky. 
Season to taste with salt and serve hot.
