Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ingredients. Gently rinse the Tteokguk tteok (rice cakes) under cold water and drain them well in a colander. This prevents them from sticking together. Next, thinly slice the scallion (about 15cm long). Have your eggs and the Seolleongtang broth ready. Once everything is prepped, you’re all set to make a delicious Tteokguk!
Step 2
Pour both packs of store-bought Seolleongtang broth (total 600g) into a pot. Add 1 paper cup of water (about 200ml). Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the prepared Tteokguk tteok. Let it boil again until the rice cakes are cooked. Taste the broth and season with salt as needed. It’s best to start with less salt and add more gradually, tasting as you go.
Step 3
Check if the rice cakes are tender. Then, slowly pour the 2 beaten eggs in a circular motion over the simmering soup. Wait about 10 seconds before gently stirring with chopsticks or a spoon to create delicate ribbons of egg. Finally, add the sliced scallions and let it simmer for another moment. For an extra touch, add a pinch of black pepper. Your delicious New Year’s Tteokguk is ready!
