Tteokguk, Dduk Guk | Korean Rice Cake Soup Recipe
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce package tteok oval slices
- 8 cups rich broth or stock any kind: anchovy, chicken, beef, or vegetable
- 10 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons Korean soup soy sauce
- 4 eggs yolks and white separated
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil for cooking egg yolks
- 2-3 scallions sliced on the bias
- toasted nori seaweed, or nori, julienned/crumbled for garnish
- optional garnish: sesame oil, red pepper, toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Soak tteok in cold water for at least 20 minutes, or until soft.
- While rice cakes soak, heat broth in large soup pot. Add garlic, soy sauce, and salt/pepper to taste, and let simmer for about 10 minutes to flavor the broth.
- Add dduk. Allow to simmer until dduk is soft, about 10 minutes.
- Lightly beat egg whites, then stir slowly into simmering soup to create wisps.
Cook Egg Omelet Garnish
- Lightly beat egg yolks until no streaks are visible. Heat a tablespoon of avocado oil in a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour eggs into pan and let cook without browning about 3 minutes—you may have to turn heat down to medium-low. Turn omelet over in one piece, finish cooking, about 30 seconds.
- Remove egg omelet to cutting board and slice into thin strips. Set aside.
Serve Dduk Gook Soup
- To serve, ladle broth into bowls and distribute rice cakes equally among bowls. Drizzle each bowl with about 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Garnish with egg garnish, sliced green onions, toasted nori and optional red pepper and toasted sesame seeds if using.

Notes
**Note: Once it is cooked, dduk does not keep well. Add only enough dduk to the soup that you know you will eat immediately. You can always add more later.
