This seaweed soup is traditionally served on birthdays and for new moms who just gave birth. Made just right, there is nothing ocean-y about this soup. And it's so healthy and cleansing for the body.
Ingredients:
1/4 to 1/2 lb of ground/minced sirloin or other high quality beef
a handful of dried seaweed (found in Asian stores, usually long package, need to cut into smaller bunches)
1-2 large onion(s)
1-2 tsp soy sauce to taste
1/2 tsp of minced garlic
1 tsp sesame seed oil
4-5 cups of water
Let the dried seaweed soak in cold water for 20-30 minutes to let expand and the saltiness subside (ocean taste). Brown the beef in a frying pan with a little bit of oil, and then add the seaweed (already soaked and heavily rinsed and water squeezed out of it). Cook lightly for a minute or two adding in some more oil and the garlic and then the soy sauce. Then put the ingredients into a small pot and add water (water level covering the seaweed completely) on mid-high heat and add onion. Let boil and then serve with rice.
