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.
