Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking the tteokguk rice cakes in cold or ice water before boiling prevents them from swelling and keeps them chewy.
  • The beef garnish should be stir-fried thoroughly over low heat without burning to avoid any gamey smell.
  • Adding the green onion last after pouring in the egg keeps the broth from becoming sticky and ensures a clean taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a clean and mild tteokguk without bone broth.
  • Those who want the rice cakes to stay chewy and not turn mushy.
  • Those who want to make a simple one-bowl meal for holidays or everyday dining.
