This dried laver soup (김국) is one of my favorite Korean soups. I loved to eat this soup when I was little. It is very easy to make, so I used to make it by myself when my mom was not at home. Sometime ago, I got a big box of Korean food from Sempio. I tried some of their products for this recipe and the result was good. I am happy to share this recipe with you. Try this delicious soup someday that only takes a few minutes to make. 
Yield: 2 Servings
Short Korean Lesson: *^^*
- GumJung (검정) = Black
- Hin (흰) = White
Main Ingredients
- 3 Sheets Sempio Dried Seaweed (Nori)
- 3 Cups Water
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Green Onion
Broth Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Hyangshin Sauce (Soup)
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- ¼ tsp Sempio Organic Sesame Oil
- ¼ tsp Salt (Optional)
Directions
In a pan, add 3 cups of water and boil it on high. Meanwhile, tear 3 sheets of Sempio dried seaweed into bite sized pieces. You can use other brand-dried seaweed also.
Mince 1 tsp of garlic and chop 2 tbsp of green onion into ¼-inch pieces.
Break one egg and mix it well.
Once the water starts to boil, add the dried seaweed.
Add 1 Tbsp of Hyangshin sauce for soup and the garlic. Cook for 3 minutes on medium-high.
After 3 minutes, slowly pour the egg mixture into the soup. Wait a few seconds and stir it very gently so that the egg will not make a mess in the soup. Cook 2 more minutes.
Add 2 Tbsp of chopped green onions. In this step, taste it and adjust the saltiness with about ¼ tsp of salt. Cook for a minute and turn off the heat.
Lastly, drizzle ¼ tsp of Sempio organic sesame oil on top before serving. You can use other brand of sesame oil also.
Enjoy this soup.

Hi EunByeol~
That’s a good guess but the actual seaweed soup is called Mi Yeuk Gook. Aeri makes it,

Happy Cooking!
I made this tonight and it was so tasty.
My mom used to make a seaweed soup like this when I was little.
hi Karrie,
great review.. thanks
Can I use chosun gan-jang instead of the hyangshin sauce? I really want to try this recipe. Can you use the Dol-kim that comes already oiled and salted?
hi Sue,
Yes you can.. just you will lose some flavor the hyangshin sauce has..but it will work.. you can adjust the amount of saltness with gan jang or salt.. yep.. you can use seasoned dol kim also.. just adjust the amount of salt.. ^^
this is what my mum made when i was a kid too!!! i want to make this for my children as well. my elder one loves seaweed. this soup is soooo healthy. everyone out there..if u have any leftover nori sheets, dont worry! try out this recipe fr aeri!! oh my, i am drooling now
