Kim Dae-seok's Mussel Miyeokguk

Sautéed mussels create a creamy broth, then soaked seaweed is added and simmered to make a refreshing mussels seaweed soup.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The soaking water from mussels is rich in natural umami—never discard it; always use it as part of the broth.
  • Sautéing mussels and mirin in sesame oil first removes fishiness and infuses a rich, nutty aroma.
  • Adding water in stages rather than all at once results in a creamier, more evenly extracted broth with deeper flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a nourishing seaweed soup with a rich, creamy broth.
  • People who prefer a cooler, more savory seafood broth over beef seaweed soup.
  • Those wanting to prepare a thoughtful, special seaweed soup for birthdays or other occasions.
