- 20 grams Dried Seaweed
- 100 grams Beef Chopped to bite-size pieces
- 1 1/2 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp Minced Garlic
- 4 tbsp Soy Sauce for Soup
- Black Pepper
- 4 cups Rice Water
Soak dried seaweed in water for 10-15 minutes. Once bloomed, drain and chop it to bite size pieces.
Prepare rice water by washing rice two times, and on the third wash, set aside the yielded water for the soup base.
In a deep pot on high heat, sauté the beef in sesame oil.
When the beef is 70% done, add the seaweed and garlic, then sauté it well.
Season the seaweed with soy sauce and black pepper.
Add the rice water and let it come to a boil.
Taste and add more soy sauce as needed.
Serve and enjoy!
