Simple Recipe of Seaweed soup with Beef (miyeokguk)-Cooking Class

Today I'm cooking seaweed soup with beef!

In Korea, people eat this seaweed soup on their birthday and also after delivering a baby.
(Because of the rich calcium in seaweed, it helps babies to strengthen their bones and in shaping tooth.)
That's why Korean mothers eat seaweed soup and people eat it on their birthday as a custom.

Quick Side Note:
Did you guys know that there's korean age in Korea?
1. You start from 1 year old when you are born.
2. Every 1st of January, every korean gets 1 year more.
So, for example, if you were born on Dec 31st, you would be 2 years old on the next day.
BUT ON THE DOCUMENT, IT'S SAME AS OTHER COUNTRIES.
