Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cover the cooked beef with plastic wrap while cooling to prevent the surface from drying out and becoming tough.
  • Adding a small amount of cornstarch slurry to egg whites when frying helps prevent tearing and results in clean, neat omelet strips.
  • Avoid prolonged boiling of tteok in broth, as starch release will cloud the broth and cause the tteok to break apart—removing them as soon as they float is key to maintaining chewiness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy tteokguk with a consistently chewy texture that doesn’t lose its quality even after time has passed.
  • People looking to prepare an authentic holiday meal with a deep, rich beef broth base.
  • Individuals seeking a refined, elegant tteokguk recipe with neat, impressive toppings suitable for serving guests.
