Miyeok is Korean Wakame Seaweed

Monday, April 20th, 2009

This is the Wang brand of 미역 (miyok), which you can use to make 미역국 (miyeok-guk), a seaweed soup traditionally eaten on one’s birthday and given to Korean women who have just given birth. The Japanese call this kind of seaweed wakame. It’s different from the seawood used to wrap sushi — that seaweed is called nori in Japanese and kim in Korean.
