  4. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat until the flavors meld and the broth deepens, then serve.
  1. Soak dried seaweed in water, squeeze out moisture, and cut into pieces.
  2. Heat pot with perilla oil and soup soy sauce, stir-fry the rehydrated seaweed evenly.
  3. Add scallop broth and scallop meat, simmer until the flavors are deep and rich.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Unlike beef seaweed soup, the scallop steaming liquid itself has strong saltiness and umami, so initially add only a small amount of soup soy sauce or salt, then adjust seasoning later.
  • Seaweed soup develops a much deeper flavor if simmered gently over low heat for a longer time, or if allowed to cool and then reheated, rather than served immediately.
