So yummy! I had this soup once in Korea, and I loved it. This tastes just like what I ate over there. Once you start eating it, you can't stop! -
So, this recipe is an acquired taste. I grew up eating this soup and I absolutely love it. Although, for the people I've made it for, the seaweed texture was not agreeable to their palates. Instead of using regular soy sauce, Asian markets do sell a clearer looking soy sauce that is used specifically for soup. Also, instead of adding extra salt, I just use beef flavored Dashida. it's a salty beef flavoring agent. I can't wait for my mother to come into town after I give birth to make this soup for me.
