I love pulling from other cultures to see how women nurture each other with traditional foods after birth. Here is a recipe that is close to my heart because I gave birth to my first son in South Korea, and this warm nourishing bowl of goodness was served to me at the birthing center.
As the story goes, the history behind eating this Seaweed Soup came from ancient Koreans observing whale mothers gorging themselves on seaweed after birth. It just so happens seaweed is teeming with restorative vitamins and minerals like calcium, iron, iodine, B vitamins, and omega 3's which a mother's body can be depleted of postpartum. This soup is also enjoyed each year on one's birthday to honor a mother's love and hard work in birth and child-rearing.
Don't be intimidated by a few exotic ingredients here. There is really just one you have to get right: the seaweed. This seaweed is not the usual crispy salty seaweed snack you may be used to. It comes in long dry strands (you can see it pictured above). If you have an Asian market nearby, just go in and ask for "mi-yuk" or brown seaweed or sea mustard.
Now you have the right seaweed, this soup is easy-peasy and oh-so-satisfying.
Adapted from Seaweed Soup with Beef
4 cups of soaked seaweed (about 1 cup dry)
16 cups water
4-5 tbsp fish sauce (can substitute soy sauce/ salt to taste)
200 grams beef brisket
1 tbsp chopped garlic
for garnish: 1-2 tsp sesame oil, cooked egg strips, crushed dried seaweed snack, toasted sesame seeds, hot sauce
1. Soak 1 cup of seaweed in a big bowl of water for 30 minutes. Drain, and chop into small pieces.
2. Add soaked seaweed and 16 cups of water in a large pot and boil on high for about 20 minutes.
3. Slice beef into small, match-stick shaped pieces. Add raw beef, chopped garlic, fish sauce to pot and boil for another 20 minutes on medium.
4. Top with a drizzle of sesame oil, sesame seeds, dried seaweed snack, and strips of cooked egg.
This soup pairs perfectly with a bowl of steaming grains such as brown rice, barley, or a white rice and quinoa blend. Enjoy and feel the warmth of a mother's love!

As a resident of California who endured the catastrophic repercussions of the recent wildfires, I was already grappling with the emotional and financial toll of losing my home and cherished belongings. The destruction left me feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed, struggling to find a pathway to rebuild my life. Amidst this turmoil, I received a text message that appeared to be a beacon of hope. It offered a “fire recovery grant” in cryptocurrency, specifically $60,000 in USDC, claiming that I could access funds to facilitate my recovery. All I needed to do was pay a nominal “processing fee.” Desperate for assistance, I felt compelled to act swiftly, believing this could be the lifeline I so desperately required. The offer seemed legitimate. The website linked in the text exuded professionalism, complete with polished graphics and persuasive language that instilled a sense of trust. I thought I had discovered a means to secure some much-needed financial support to help me regain my footing. However, after I paid the processing fee, I quickly realized that I had fallen victim to a scam. The promised funds never materialized, and my attempts to contact the website went unanswered. A wave of despair washed over me, exacerbated by the profound loss I was already experiencing. The betrayal stung deeply, leaving me feeling more isolated and despondent than ever. I turned to online cryptocurrency forums, hoping to find guidance and camaraderie from others who might have faced similar predicaments. It was there that I stumbled upon CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY , a service specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. Intrigued and desperate, I reached out to them, sharing my harrowing ordeal and the details of the scam. To my astonishment, they were responsive and empathetic, assuring me that they possessed the expertise to help recover my lost funds.Within a mere two days, CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY successfully reclaimed all of my $20,000 USDC. The relief I felt was indescribable; it was as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from my shoulders. The scam had left me feeling defeated and the recovery process rejuvenated my faith in the possibility of rebuilding my life. I now advocate for others to remain informed, sharing my story to help prevent similar misfortunes.
