Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 20g dried seaweed in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Once soft, squeeze out water and cut into bite-size pieces.

  2. 2

    Cut 150g beef into bite-size pieces and stir-fry in 1 tbsp sesame oil for 2 minutes until the surface is seared.

  3. 3

    Add the soaked seaweed and stir-fry together for 3 minutes so sesame oil coats everything evenly.

  4. 4

    Pour in 800ml water, bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add 1 tbsp soup soy sauce and 1 tsp minced garlic, simmer 5 more minutes, then adjust salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Turn off heat and serve hot. Pouring broth over rice is also a delicious way to enjoy it.

Tips

Stir-frying seaweed in sesame oil long enough gives a clear and deep-flavored broth.
Use generous beef for birthday soup; clams are a great everyday substitute.
