Delicious and easy version of the traditional New Year's dish. Korean tradition holds that if you eat this soup on New Year's eve, you'll have plenty to eat all year.

Ingredients
  • 1 package dduk (oval slices)
  • 8 c. rich chicken broth
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2-3 T soy sauce (to taste)
  • 2-3 scallions (green parts only) cut into 2" long pieces
  • 4 eggs
  • Mandoo (frozen Korean dumplings, vegetable or meat-filled)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sesame oil to taste
  • toasted kim (seaweed, or nori), julienned

Directions
  1. Soak dduk in cold water for 20 minutes.
  2. In large pot, heat chicken broth, then add garlic (more if you prefer), soy sauce, scallions, and salt/pepper to taste, and let simmer for about 10 minutes (to flavor the broth).
  3. Add mandoo and dduk to broth. Allow to simmer until dduk is soft, about 10 minutes more.
  4. Lightly beat eggs, then stir slowly into simmering soup. Stir in 1 - 2 tsp sesame oil.
  5. To serve, ladle into large bowls and sprinkle with seasoned seaweed strips.
  6. *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.

I'm fascinated with korean food. so i just want to know,what is dduk? have a nice new year?


Dduk is the Korean word for rice cake. For this soup, I use the kind that comes as small flat ovals. Soak it briefly before you add to the soup, and they will become soft and delicious in about 10 minutes. Overcook and they will thicken the soup into gruel!


I love rice cakes, thanks for the post :)


I lived in Korea for a year and really grew to love the food. Thankfully we have a good Korean restaurant in my city, but they don't serve this or dduk bok gi, or even kimchee bo-keum bbap, so I usually have to make it at home.

I was wondering if you had a recipe for homemade mandu.
