Kim Dae-seok's Spring Flatfish Seaweed Soup

A nourishing spring seaweed soup made by pre-treating seaweed and flatfish with mirin and coarse salt to eliminate any fishy odor, then simmering them whole in rice water for a deep and rich flavor.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not score or cut the flatfish into pieces, as the flesh will break apart in the broth during simmering. Adding them whole keeps the soup clean.
  • Instead of stir-frying the seaweed in sesame oil, this recipe simmers it in a small amount of rice water and seasonings for 10 minutes first to bring out a deep, rich seaweed flavor.
  • Kneading the seaweed with rice wine (mirin) completely removes the thick, fishy aroma typical of sea plants.

Recommended for

  • Those who need a special restorative seaweed soup for postpartum recovery or replenishing energy.
  • Those who want to enjoy a clean and rich fish-free seaweed soup by perfectly eliminating the fishy taste.
