Kim Dae-seok's Mussel Miyeokguk

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.
