Tteokguk

Cultural Context

Tteokguk, a traditional Korean soup made with sliced rice cakes, is enjoyed during the Lunar New Year to symbolize the gaining of a year in age and blessings for the new year. This dish is often made with beef broth and garnished with various toppings, reflecting the importance of family and togetherness during the holiday. Today, Tteokguk is beloved not only during the New Year but also as a comforting meal throughout the year.

1

Soak 150 grams of rice cakes in cold water for 10 minutes.

In a pot, add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil.

3

Once boiling, add crushed garlic, Korean radish, peppercorns, and folded scallion to the pot.

4

Optionally, add 2 small pieces of dried sea kelp (tashima) to the pot.

5

Cover the pot, reduce heat to medium, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

6

Slice 60 grams of ribeye beef into thin slices.

7

In a small pan with boiling water, blanch the beef slices for 2-3 minutes to remove blood and fat.

8

Strain the beef and rinse with cold water to remove any residue.

9

In a bowl, mix the blanched beef with 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil, crushed sesame seed salt, and black pepper. Let it sit.

10

After 10 minutes of simmering, strain the broth into a bowl, reserving the liquid.

11

Season the broth with beef dash (or yondu for vegan) and salt to taste.

Add the soaked rice cakes to the broth and keep the heat at medium.

13

For dumplings, add 4 Korean Mandu to the broth and cover the pot, returning in 2 minutes.

14

In a serving bowl, add more than half of the marinated beef, saving some for garnishing.

15

After 3 minutes, remove the rice cakes and Mandu from the pot.

16

Let the serving bowl rest for about a minute while preparing the egg and scallions.

17

Break the egg and pour it into the bowl on one side to create clusters.

18

Add half of the scallions to the bowl and cover, returning in 1 minute.

19

Once done, pour the broth into the serving bowl and garnish with remaining beef, egg clusters, and scallions.
