Main Ingredients- Frozen dumplings (as many as you want to eat)
- Tteokguk tteok (rice cake slices for soup, optional)
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Onion
- 1 handful Bean sprouts
Seasoning Ingredients (Measurements based on adult tablespoon)- 1 Tbsp Tuna extract (or anchovy sauce)
- 1 Coin-shaped broth cube (or use kelp broth)
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Minced green onion
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp Black pepper
- 1 Tbsp Tuna extract (or anchovy sauce)
- 1 Coin-shaped broth cube (or use kelp broth)
- 1 Tbsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp Minced green onion
- 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp Black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare all the ingredients for our Manduguk. Wash the bean sprouts thoroughly and thinly slice the onion.
Step 2
Lightly oil a pot and add 1 Tbsp minced garlic and 1 Tbsp minced green onion. Sauté over medium-low heat until fragrant. It’s important to cook them slowly to bring out their aromatic flavors.
Step 3
Add 1 Tbsp of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the fragrant garlic and onion mixture. Stir-fry briefly, being careful not to burn it, to create a flavorful chili oil.
Step 4
Now, pour 500ml of water into the pot.
Step 5
Add 1 coin-shaped broth cube to enhance the depth of the broth. (You can also use kelp broth).
Step 6
Add the handful of thoroughly washed bean sprouts to the pot and let them simmer together until they are tender yet still slightly crisp.
Step 7
Add the 1/4 sliced onion to the pot.
Step 8
Let the ingredients simmer together for a short while to meld the flavors.
Step 9
Season the broth with 1 Tbsp of tuna extract (or anchovy sauce) for umami and flavor. Adjust the amount to your taste.
Step 10
Add the thawed frozen dumplings to the pot and cook until they are done. If you are adding tteokguk tteok (rice cake slices), add them at this stage as well.
Step 11
**Secret Tip for a Rich Broth!** Take one cooked dumpling, mash it finely with a fork, and stir the filling into the broth. The meat and vegetables from the dumpling filling will dissolve, creating a much richer and more delicious Manduguk broth!
Step 12
Lightly beat 1 egg in a separate bowl. Then, slowly drizzle the beaten egg in a circular motion over the simmering Manduguk. Let it cook without stirring for a moment.
Step 13
Finally, garnish with freshly chopped chives for an aromatic touch and sprinkle 0.5 Tbsp of black pepper over the soup. Your Spicy Hangover Manduguk is complete! If needed, adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt.
Step 14
I’ve made this spicy and hearty Manduguk using readily available frozen dumplings. It’s a simple yet satisfying meal recipe that’s perfect for any time. I highly recommend you try making it!
