Kim Dae-seok's Mussel Soup

Cooking tips 💡

• When removing the mussel beard, pull from the pointed upper side of the shell—not the wider lower side—to avoid damaging the internal flesh and ensure smooth separation.
• Avoid using minced garlic as it can make the broth cloudy and murky—always use sliced garlic for a clear, clean flavor.
• Shellfish become tough and shrink quickly if overcooked, so after the mussels open and vegetables are added, cook for exactly 2 more minutes before turning off the heat.
