    When I was caring for Korean exchange students, I always tried to remember their birthdays and cooked it for them. But there was one that remembered mine and suprised me with 미역국 and other little foods. "언니, you always spoil us, now I am going to spoil you!" She was so cute. I also wanted to know how she made it and she admitted that she called her mom to instruct her. So we got on a call with her mom and she explained to me (in very slow Korean bc my Korean is not great) how she made it. I will always remember that. Now my 미역국 is a mixture of her recipe and yours Maangchi 😄🙈❤

    April 20th is my moms birthday. You up loaded at just the perfect time. I recently asked my mom about trying it and she explained just how important it was in Korean culture. My mom had a hard life and was moved to the states after her mom passed away. She told me this past week she hasn’t had miyeok-guk since losing her mother as a young girl. I’m not her biological daughter but she has been a wonderful mother to me and I just wanted to learn to make it for her to show her just how much I love her and how important she is to me. She was meant to be my mom she even shares the same birthday as my birth mom. I hope to pass this to my little sister and dad so they can make mom birthday soup when I can’t be there.

    My Korean roommate once made me Miyeokguk and it was one of THE most sublimely delicious things I have ever had the priviledge to eat. The seaweed was silky and plump; the beef, tender and juicy; the broth rich and flavourful. I literally felt rejuvenated after eating it--just suffused with a bone-deep sense of wellbeing. And all she did was put some seaweed, water, beef, and a couple cloves of garlic into a pot and let it all simmer together till the meat was tender. Mind. Blown. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! You're one of my favourite cooking channels.

      I to am from Alabama and agree with you 100%. I was in the service for 8 years and travelled extensively and would have to say that this Miyeokguk is the EXACT same dish, only Korean style. The Miyeokguk is a bit softer and not to knock it but a bit slimey yet a VERY good dish. Add some diced potatoes or turnip roots and you'll love it. Keep the windows open while cooking just like turnips and you'll be fine, lol! Wonderful dish after an all nighter as well, JS! Enjoy

So I asked my friend who lives there to cook the soup for my mom while we were out being tourists. The whole plan almost failed because my mom didn't want to go out at first! I had to guilt her into it! I was worried she would be tired or in a bad mood but she had fun and then she was so surprised when we came back and there was all this yummy food cooked for her!!

Last year I wanted to cook it too, but didn't have seaweed at home. This year I am prepared, so later I will eat a bowl of this soup with a bowl of rice. Fingers crossed it will be as delicious as I hope it will be. Thank you Maangchi for all the amazing videos, allowing a middle aged Danish woman to learn how to cook Korean food.
