beef

 

It’s Danny’s birthday! What should I cook? I only had one thing in mind: miyeok guk.

미역국 (miyeok guk) is also known as the birthday soup in Korea. It’s made of seaweed and sometimes mixed with chunks of beef or mussels. This soup is nutritiously packed with iodine and calcium. Pregnant mothers usually consume this healthy soup after giving birth to increase breastmilk production. That’s also the reason why birthday celebrants are given this soup as a reminder of their first food from their mothers. But of course, one can have this delicious, hot bowl of miyeok guk anytime, anywhere.

"Bul"=fire
"gogi"=meat

This Korean beef dish takes minutes to make the marinade, and minutes to cook up. Really easy, EXTREMELY satisfying. Despite the name, it is not spicy, rather it is cooked over fire. You can serve the meat over rice, in bibimbap, wrapped in lettuce/sesame leaves with other goodies or however you like. It is a treat any way you serve it.
