Soak the dried miyeok in cold water for 30 minutes, drain, and cut any large pieces.
Cut the beef brisket into thin small pieces and crush the garlic.
Put the miyeok, beef, and water in a pot and boil for 10 minutes.
Lower the heat and cook the soup for 32 minutes, until the beef is tender.
Add the fish sauce, sesame oil, and salt and cook for 5 more minutes.
Ladle miyeok guk into bowls and serve hot with rice pilaf.
💡 Tip: Dried miyeok expands a lot in water; weigh it the first time, because measuring by handful can overflow the pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve miyeok guk hot with plain rice and a small kimchi plate if desired.
