Stir-fry the dried pollack
STEP 7/11
If the dried pollack is properly stir-fried, add soaked seaweed and continue to stir-fry it, then season it with soy sauce. You can also mix the fish sauce.

Seaweed soup tastes better if you boil it for a long time. It's better if you cool it down and boil it again
If you like perilla seed powder, add 3~4T of perilla seed powder at the end to make it a savory perilla seed seaweed soup!
