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!

Hi everyone, I’m an entrepreneur, and when I learned about cryptocurrencies and how they potentially triple my income, I was excited to invest. I hope this message finds the correct audience.

I quickly discovered that this cryptocurrency was a hoax and that I was unable to withdraw my money after making a substantial investment. My business was in tatters, and I owed money.Fortunately for me, a pop-up regarding cryptocurrency recovery and cybersecurity specialists that could help me get all of my money back appeared when seeking for help on the internet. This organization, WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, is a cyber security and cryptocurrency recovery firm that helped me get my investment money back.

Thanks to Rewallet Shield Coin Recovery. As an entrepreneur, I’m always seeking new opportunities. Years ago, Bitcoin caught my attention, so I invested in mining equipment and accumulated Bitcoin, securely storing it with a decryption key. As my business grew, I moved on to other ventures and forgot about my Bitcoin. Recently, I checked its value and was shocked to find it worth $473,000! Excited, I tried accessing my wallet but couldn’t find the decryption key. After changing computers multiple times, it was lost. Desperate, I searched online and found Rewallet Shield Recovery, a tool designed to recover lost keys. Following its simple instructions, I let it scan my computer and external drives. After hours of processing, it provided a list of possible keys. I tested them one by one until success! I regained access to my wallet and recovered my $473,000.This experience taught me the importance of safeguarding critical information. Thanks to Rewallet Shield Recovery, I’ve recovered my assets and can reinvest in my business with confidence. Contact Email rewalletshieldcoinrecovery@aol.com WhatsApp +17573321885
I used to think crypto recovery was a myth until I became a victim of a scam that wiped out my entire portfolio through a fake investment scheme. Every attempt to recover my funds was met with more fees and empty promises. For two exhausting weeks, I got nowhere.
That changed when I reached out to Morphohack Cyber Team, a trusted and legitimate crypto recovery service recommended by a friend who had successfully recovered his digital assets through them. Their expertise and professionalism made all the difference.
I’m sharing this to let other scam victims know: it’s not over until you get your funds back. Your crypto wallet and digital assets can still be recovered.
