*Cooking* Korean Seaweed Soup (Birthday soup)

Seaweed soup in Korea means a lot of things - someone has a birthday, someone gives a birth, or someone goes on a diet. If you can make this special soup for your friend's or family member's birthday, I can say that you are a great person who knows how to make your friends or family happy. 👍😉

Let's make a special & healthy seaweed soup!

What we need,

• Ground Beef/ Stew Beef / Chicken / Dried fish - 1/2 lb
• Dried Seaweed - a handful of
• 3 cloves of garlic - minced
• Sesame oil - 2 Table spoon
• Soy sauce - 1 Table spoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon (add more or skip based on your preference)
• Water/Rice Water - 3 cups  *tips: I prefer to use rice water (when you wash rice, you will get a tons of rice water. Instead of throwing away, always save the second round rice water for cooking and the third round rice water for my facial wash.) 

Today's my preparation: Rice Water, Seaweed soaked in the water, & Stew Beef

Steps

1. In the small bowl, soak dried seaweed in the water for 10 minutes. You can see a magic that the volume of dried seaweed dramatically increased.

2. Place a middle size pot over medium-high heat and add sesame oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, & stew beef. Stir them until the half of the beef color turns gray. 

3. Squeeze water from the seaweed and add it to the pot. Stir seaweed and beef together for another 3 mins.  

4. Add water/rice water and cover the lid. Wait until the soup in the pot is boiling.

5. Add salt according your preference. Cook over low heat for 5 mins more and enjoy! 

yummy!!
