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.
