Tteokguk (Korean Rice Cake Soup) image

It's been a long time since we've eaten tteokguk (rice cake soup) so it was a pleasant surprise when the wife took over the reins in the kitchen and surprised me and the kids with this delicious Korean soup. Tteokguk is a traditional dish enjoyed by many (if not all Koreans) during the Lunar New Year holiday. The rice cake used to make tteokguk is first made into a long, white cylinder shape called garae tteok. Its shape and length is symbolic, wishing for longevity in life.

This tteokguk recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. I had to add some sugar to balance out the heat.

This tteokguk recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it flavorful. The rice cakes were also a bit too chewy for my liking.
