You can use oxtail or soup bones. My Mom always put in a can of top shell (clams). Great after I had my baby.

Instead of meat or seafood, I regularly make my seaweed soup with squash, butternut works great!!
Also adding onions & other veggies, makes it delicious!!

This will be good for 4 servings. I often use chicken. You also can use mussels.
I have never used pork. If your friend doesn’t like beer, try chicken.
It is pretty good. Good luck

I sometimes make mine adding tofu or dulk (rice cakes). I would imagine that a soy product like tofu (fried in the sesame oil) or Nutrela (soy chunks) soaked in the broth for a while would not change the taste, would allow you not to consume meat and will futher save you from having, basically, seaweed and water. Miyeok is a good base what you do to it is really up to you.

You really can add any kind of seafood to miyeok guk! After I had my first child, my husband cooked this soup constantly for me. To change it up a bit he would sometimes add mussels, oysters, beef, or nothing. It really is quite delicious with wild sesame (oil/powdered). Sometimes he would fry the miyeok, sometimes not. This also changes the taste! It is such a great soup after you have given birth and are nursing!!!! I’m also very lucky to have a Korean husband
