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!

I’ve always believed I had a good head for business. My wife, Tina, and I built a successful company in the Netherlands over two decades. By the end of 2024, we were ready to slow down—early retirement, smarter investments, and time to enjoy life.
That nearly vanished in a single mistake.
We had been watching the crypto space for years. In early 2025, we decided to invest—nothing risky, just to diversify. A platform came highly recommended. It looked legitimate, had strong performance claims, and offered dedicated support. After two weeks of research and discussions, we invested €150,000 in Bitcoin.
At first, everything seemed fine. The dashboard showed gains. We received regular updates from a personal manager. Then came requests: first a “security verification fee,” then a “tax clearance.” Before we knew it, the dashboard froze and support disappeared. The silence was devastating. We felt foolish. We were cautious people—how did we fall for this?
Late one night, I came across a thread mentioning Morphohack Cyber Service. No big promises, just quiet testimonials. Tina reached out. They responded within hours, requesting every bit of information. Their cyber team traced the funds using blockchain analytics and digital forensics. In less than 48 hours, we got a message: “Recovery in process. Funds secure.”
We checked our cold wallet. €148,000 had been recovered. Morphohack didn’t just get our money back, they restored our peace of mind. Since then, we’ve shared our story to help others. Scams don’t just take money, they steal your trust. But recovery is possible. Morphohack can be reached via E-mail: Morphohack@cyberservices.com
