Korean Seaweed Soup with Beef

written by Emma Tang

Korean seaweed soup with beefThe first time I had the Korean seaweed soup with beef was back in college. A friend of mine who is ethnic Koreans in China, took us to a Korean restaurant nearby our university to celebrate her 20th birthday.

She told us there is a tradition to eat seaweed soup on birthdays, so we ordered the seaweed soup to share. That was my first time having this dish, I instantly fell in love with it and has been a fan since. 

Korean SeaweedTo make this dish, we’ll need a type of seaweed called miyeok (or wakeme seaweed). It’s different from the roasted seaweed used to wrap sushi.

Miyeok is normally dried and requires soaking in water to rehydrate before cooking. Here is the miyeok (Amazon link) I used for this dish. You could also find similar products in most Asian grocery stores.

Korean Seaweed SoupSeaweed tastes rather bland by itself, doesn’t really add to the flavor of the dish. Flavor of the dish generally comes from the broth and seasonings. Just about any broth you can think of can work.

But the most common broth for a seaweed soup would be beef or anchovy. This time, I made a seaweed soup with ground beef broth, seasoned with minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and soybean paste.

Korean Seaweed Soup FeatureSeaweed soup has many health benefits. It is a good source of calcium, iron and high in iodine.

I want to share this high-in-nutrients and low-in-calories dish with you to enjoy it year round. Below is an overview of how I made this seaweed soup with ground beef broth.
