Super Simple and Delicious Tuna Seaweed Soup: A Must-Try Recipe!
Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s both incredibly simple and wonderfully flavorful: Tuna Seaweed Soup. Many traditional seaweed soups use meat for depth, but this version leverages the savory richness of tuna to create a dish that’s quick to make and packed with umami. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy a comforting and satisfying meal with a unique twist.
Ingredients- 2 Tbsp dried seaweed (cut)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 350ml water
- 85g canned tuna (drained)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the 2 tablespoons of dried, cut seaweed in water for about 10 minutes. Since cut seaweed rehydrates quickly, there’s no need to soak it for an extended period. You can use this time to prepare your other ingredients.
Step 2
Once the seaweed is rehydrated, thoroughly wash it by squeezing it with your hands in water, creating some lather. Repeat this rinsing process about 4-5 times. This step helps to remove any slight bitterness or raw taste, ensuring a clean flavor.
Step 3
After rinsing, squeeze out as much excess water from the seaweed as possible and place it into a pot. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and stir-fry the seaweed over medium-high heat until fragrant. This will infuse the seaweed with a nutty aroma.
Step 4
Next, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and continue to stir-fry for just a little longer, about 1 minute. Stir-frying with soy sauce deepens the umami flavor and helps season the seaweed evenly. Be careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Pour in 350ml of water (you can add up to 400ml if you prefer a thinner soup). Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Seaweed soup actually tastes better when simmered; once it boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 6
Once the soup base is simmering, add the drained 85g can of tuna and let it simmer for another short period. Avoid overcooking the tuna, as it can break apart. Just let it heat through and meld with the broth for a richer taste.
Step 7
Your delicious Tuna Seaweed Soup is ready! Serve it warm with a bowl of rice for a satisfying and wholesome meal. This simple yet deeply flavorful soup is sure to be a hit at your table.
