Main Ingredients
- 20g dried seaweed
- 1 can saury (including the liquid)
Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or rice wine are also fine)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or rice wine are also fine)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, soak 20g of dried seaweed in lukewarm water for about 15-20 minutes until it’s fully rehydrated. Rinse the seaweed thoroughly under cold water, squeeze out excess water, and then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped seaweed in a pot and add enough water to cover it completely. Bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 2
While the seaweed is boiling, open 1 can of saury. Pour the entire contents of the can, including the liquid, into the pot with the boiling seaweed. Use a spoon or fork to gently mash the saury pieces into smaller flakes. This helps to infuse the broth with the rich flavor of the saury.
Step 3
Add the mashed saury and its liquid to the boiling seaweed soup. Now, stir in 2 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup, 1 Tbsp of minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 Tbsp of cooking wine (or mirin/rice wine). Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 4
As the soup simmers, skim off any foam or excess oil that rises to the surface. Use a ladle or spoon to remove these impurities. This step ensures a cleaner, more refined taste and a more appealing appearance for your soup.
Step 5
This canned saury seaweed soup offers a distinct and wonderful flavor profile, different from the usual beef or tuna versions. You might initially worry about any fishy smell, but surprisingly, this soup is not fishy at all. Instead, it gains a delightful richness and savory depth, like a well-seasoned broth with an added nutty undertone. (This is just my personal taste impression, so feel free to adjust seasonings to your liking!) Enjoy this incredibly delicious and satisfying saury seaweed soup, perfect for enjoying with a bowl of rice!
