Tteokguk from “Hotel Del Luna”
During one of Jang Man Wol’s (IU) food adventures with Gu Chan Sung (Yeo Jin Goo), the two shared their love over a bowl of tteokguk, also known as rice cake soup in English. This traditional soup is eaten on New Year’s Day in Korea, but is also a good partner to have while binging K-Dramas.
Ingredients:
-Pre-ready beef stock (10 cups)
-500 g breast without skin and without fat
Main & Soup Sauce
-400g Korean rice cakes for soup
-1 tbsp Korean soy sauce for soup
-1/2 tsp minced garlic
-Fine sea salt
Toppings (optional, based on your personal preferences)
-2 eggs
-3 Sheets of Korean roasted dried seaweed
-2 stalks green onion (green part)
Instructions:
Boil the beef stock over medium heat. Once the stock is boiling, add the breast meat and cook the mixture over medium heat for another 5 minutes. Then lower the heat and cook for another 50 minutes.
Then strain the stock through a cheesecloth and set both the stock and the meat aside. Then let the meat cool for 10 minutes, shred it and then season with salt and sesame oil. Set aside when you’re done.
Then soak the Rice Waffles in cold water for 15 minutes and drain.
While waiting, prepare the egg toppings by separating the yolks from the whites. Then fry separately at low temperature with little oil. Slice the finished egg toppings and set them aside.
Finally, bring the stock to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat and once it boils, add the minced garlic, soy sauce and rice cakes. Boil the rice cakes for 3 minutes and garnish the soup with the egg topping.
