Main Ingredients- 10g dried seaweed
- 100g rice cake slices for soup
- 6 cups water (approx. 1.2L)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 100g beef (for soup)
Seasoning Ingredients- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2.5 Tbsp soup soy sauce (2 Tbsp + 1/2 Tbsp)
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2.5 Tbsp soup soy sauce (2 Tbsp + 1/2 Tbsp)
- Salt to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, soak the dried seaweed in enough water to cover it for about 10 minutes. This process softens the seaweed and removes any impurities.
Step 2
Rinse the rice cake slices for the soup in water for a short while to prevent them from sticking together and to make them pliable.
Step 3
Drain the rehydrated seaweed using a sieve. Cut it into bite-sized pieces with scissors, as overly long strands can be difficult to eat.
Step 4
Heat a pot over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. Sauté the beef until it’s no longer pink. Then, add the soaked seaweed and 1.5 Tbsp of soup soy sauce and stir-fry together to enhance the seaweed’s flavor.
Step 5
Pour 6 cups of water into the pot with the sautéed ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Then, add the soaked rice cake slices and continue to cook.
Step 6
While the rice cakes are cooking until tender, season the soup with 1/2 Tbsp of minced garlic, the remaining 1 Tbsp of soup soy sauce, and salt to your preference. Once the rice cakes are fully cooked, your delicious Seaweed Rice Cake Soup is ready! Enjoy it while it’s hot.
