Kim Dae-seok's Oyster Tteokguk

Cooking tips 💡

• Oysters should not be cooked at high heat for too long, as they shrink and lose their chewy texture, becoming tough. Add them only at the final stage when the rice cakes are fully softened.
• To reduce fishy odor, spread the dried anchovies and dried shrimp on a plate and microwave for about 30 seconds before use to dry out excess moisture—this enhances their savory aroma.
• Avoid stirring vigorously after adding the egg; doing so will break up the egg completely and make the broth cloudy. Gently stir only after the egg has slightly set.
