Miyuk Gook (Seaweed Soup)

Description: This soup is typically served on a person's birthday. I actually have no idea why but it might have to do with the fact that you give a new mother this soup and it is supposed to help cleanse her blood or something like that (according to my mom). But either way, I somehow managed to make this soup. In Iowa... where the Korean ingredients are a rarity. Using a rice cooker as a crock pot.

Ingredients 

• some sort of broth (usually anchovy but meat works too, I had to use chicken bones to make mine...)
• seaweed
• olive oil
• salt

Directions

1. First you have to make the broth, which could take a couple hours. I think I cooked my chicken bones to make a broth for about 4 hours... I used a rice cooker with a slow cook option, I suppose a crock pot would work too. 
2. After the broth is done, wash the seaweed and cut it up into smaller pieces
3. Fry the seaweed with olive oil 
4. Put the seaweed in the soup and add enough salt to taste.
