Otogi Dried Seaweed for Soup 50g

Miyeok (미역), or Korean dried seaweed, is a nutrient-rich sea vegetable commonly used in Korean cuisine. This dried seaweed from Otogi has a deep, oceanic flavour and a satisfyingly chewy texture once rehydrated. It is an essential ingredient for making the traditional Korean birthday dish, miyeok-guk (seaweed soup), a comforting and savoury broth enjoyed year-round. To prepare, simply soak the dried seaweed in cold water for about 5-10 minutes until it expands and softens, then rinse it thoroughly before adding to soups, stews, or side dishes. A small amount goes a long way, as it swells significantly in size. This versatile pantry staple is ideal for anyone looking to add authentic Korean flavours and healthful ingredients to their home cooking. It is a staple in many Korean households for its taste and nutritional benefits.
