Making Miyeokguk Korean Seaweed Soup

Miyeokguk, or Korean Seaweed Soup, is said to date back to the Goryeo dynasty when people observed whales eating seaweed after giving birth to their calves. Today it’s a traditional birthday dish, and we remember and honor our mothers as we enjoy it. There are many variations and methods of preparation, and it really comes down to your preference. I learned to make this dish in Michigan during my first pregnancy, while getting directions over the phone from my mom in California. Since then, it’s become a go-to meal that’s hearty, nutritious, and comforting. Have you tried Miyeokguk?
