Korean cooking ingredients:

Sea plant (miyuk)




I make “Miyuk Guk (seaplant soup)” or Miyuk muchim (seaplant salad) with this.

    Maangi, I notice on the upper picture that Miyuk is labeled “wakame” I am assuming that miyuk is then just the Korean name for wakame?

    I have some in my cupboard but I find it is very thin and slimey not at all like the miyuk grandma used to buy which had a thicker and fimmer texture to it, is there any recommendations you have to picking out good miyuk/wakame

      Of course the miyuk your grandmother used to pick is the best quality which is thick, wide, and long!
      But the miyeok that looks like thread and thin will be fine to use. Soak it in cold water for 1 hour, then it will expand.

      Check my soy bean sprout soup recipe or baechu doenjangguk recipe. I’m showing how to remove the intestines of dried anchovies there.
