instructions
    1

    Soak the kelp in water for about 10 minutes until it becomes soft.

    2

    After soaking, rinse the kelp under cold water and chop it into bite-sized pieces.

    3

    In a pot, add 4 cups of water and the chopped kelp. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.

    4

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the kelp for about 15 minutes.

    5

    While the kelp is simmering, finely chop the garlic and set it aside.

    6

    After the 15 minutes, add the chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.

    7

    In a small bowl, beat the 2 eggs until fully mixed.

    8

    Turn the heat to medium-high, and slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create ribbons of egg.

    9

    Once the egg is fully cooked, turn off the heat and let the soup sit for a couple of minutes to cool slightly. Serve hot.
