Happy New Year! Here’s how to make good Korean rice cake soup with dumplings, a dish we traditionally eat on New Year’s Day. We enjoy this on both January 1st (New Year’s Day) and Korean New Year, which will be on January 29th this year. We tested this dish multiple times for our cookbook, UMMA, and these were our findings. preorder link to our cookbook that covers the full recipe + history and story behind this dish in our bio. Ingredients: 2 pounds (907 grams) tteokguk tteok (sliced rice cakes) 8 cups beef broth** plus 2 cups (170 grams) shredded cooked beef from Sogogi Yuksu (Korean Beef Broth and Shredded Beef; page 250), divided (you can use use store bought seollongtang beef broth as a substitute**) 8 frozen mandu (dumplings) 2 tablespoons minced garlic 2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce 1 teaspoon fine salt 4 green onions (60 grams), sliced thin Egg Ribbons Shredded seasoned roasted seaweed Black pepper Instructions: 1. Submerge the tteok in 6 cups water in a large bowl for 1 hour. 2. Bring the beef broth to a boil in a large, wide pot. Drain the tteok and stir the slices into the broth, separating any pieces that stick together. Stir in the beef, mandu, garlic, fish sauce, and salt; cover; and return to a boil. 3. Uncover, reduce the heat to a vigorous simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the green onions. Top individual portions with egg ribbons, shredded seaweed, and black pepper before serving.
