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.
