đ§ Ingredienser

Prepare the seaweed: Rinse the dried miyeok thoroughly under cold running water to remove any grit. Place it in a large bowl and cover with cool water. Let it soak for about 20 minutes, or until fully rehydrated and soft. Drain the seaweed well, pressing gently to remove excess water. Cut the rehydrated miyeok into manageable, bite-sized pieces (roughly 2-3 inches long). Set aside.
â±ïž 20 minutes - 2
Sauté the protein: Heat the sesame oil in a medium-sized pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). If using beef, add the thinly sliced beef and stir-fry until it's no longer pink and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. If using mussels, add them and cook just until they start to open slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add seaweed and broth: Add the prepared miyeok to the pot and stir to combine with the protein and aromatics. Pour in the anchovy broth (or water). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for at least 20-25 minutes. This simmering time allows the flavors to meld and the seaweed to become tender.
â±ïž 25 minutes - 4
Season and serve: Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Taste the soup and add more soy sauce (up to another tablespoon) or a pinch of salt if needed, until the flavor is balanced to your preference. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Ladle the hot Miyeok Guk into bowls and serve immediately.
