Kim Dae-seok's Shrimp Tteokguk

A clear tteokguk with sliced rice cakes in a savory dried-shrimp and kelp broth, balanced with the natural sweetness of onion.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Removing the heads and legs of dried shrimp prevents the broth from becoming cloudy or overly heavy, keeping it clean and refreshing.
  • Simmering onion with the broth infuses it with a sweet, deep flavor that enhances the overall taste.
  • Avoid stirring vigorously after adding the egg—it will break apart and cloud the broth. Instead, gently swirl the egg in and let it set undisturbed.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a clear, deep-flavored seafood-based jjigae instead of traditional beef tteokguk.
  • Fans of bold umami from dried shrimp and a satisfying textural pop in the soup.
