Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 pack store-bought beef bone broth
  • 6 mandu (dumplings)
  • 2 handfuls of tteokguk tteok (sliced rice cakes)
  • 1/2 green onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Recipe 🍳

  1. Make a vertical slit in the middle of the green onion, then thinly slice it into half-moon shapes.
  2. Pour the store-bought beef bone broth into a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. When the broth boils, add the tteokguk tteok and mandu together. (If the tteok is not frozen, you can use them directly without soaking.)
  4. As the ingredients cook, add a little minced garlic to enhance the flavor of the broth.
  5. Meanwhile, beat the egg in a bowl and set aside.
  6. When the tteok and mandu are fully cooked and float to the surface, gently drizzle in the beaten egg in a circular motion, add the sliced green onion, and simmer for one more minute to finish.
  1. Thinly slice the green onion into half-moon shapes.
  2. Pour the beef bone broth into a pot and bring to a boil.
  3. When the broth boils, add the mandu and tteok, and boil together.
  4. Add the minced garlic, and finally add the beaten egg and green onion, then simmer for one more minute.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When making anchovy and kelp broth at home, do not boil the kelp for too long as it will release sliminess and make the broth bitter; soak it in boiling water for about 5 minutes and then remove immediately.
  • The store-bought beef bone broth already has basic seasoning, so adjust additional seasoning only after tasting.
