Nourishing and Hearty Beef and Seaweed Soup
How to Make Rich and Flavorful Beef and Seaweed Soup
My husband always says he needs soup with his rice! Lately, I’ve been making beef and seaweed soup quite often. It’s a comforting and nutritious dish that’s perfect for any meal.
Main Ingredients- Beef (such as brisket for soup) 300g
- Dried seaweed (for 4 servings)
- Sesame oil 2 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Introducing the comforting Beef and Seaweed Soup, a dish that combines the richness of beef with the nutritious goodness of seaweed. It’s a perfect soup to warm your soul and fill your stomach.
Step 2
First, prepare 300g of good quality beef (such as brisket cut for soup). Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry until it’s nicely browned and fragrant. Searing the beef well develops a deeper flavor.
Step 3
Soak the dried seaweed in plenty of cold water for about 30 minutes until it’s fully rehydrated. Rinse the seaweed thoroughly several times under cold running water to remove any grit and excess salt. Squeeze out the excess water and cut it into bite-sized pieces. This step ensures a tender texture and cleans the seaweed.
Step 4
Add the prepared seaweed to the pot with the stir-fried beef. Pour in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup and stir-fry them together for a minute or two. This allows the seaweed and beef to absorb the savory flavor of the soy sauce, enhancing the overall taste of the soup.
Step 5
Now, add enough water to generously cover all the ingredients in the pot. Bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Starting with high heat helps to extract the flavors from the ingredients effectively.
Step 6
As the soup boils, skim off any foam or scum that rises to the surface with a spoon. This process will make the soup clearer, cleaner, and more appealing to the eye, while also improving its taste.
Step 7
Finally, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning. If the soy sauce alone isn’t enough, add coarse sea salt gradually until it reaches your preferred level of saltiness. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can skip the extra salt.
Step 8
Your nourishing and hearty Beef and Seaweed Soup is now ready! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice. Your husband is sure to love it!
