Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s introduce our hearty and comforting Beef Bone Marrow Tteokguk! This nourishing soup is perfect for boosting your energy and well-being.
Step 2
First, prepare the colorful garnish. Crack and lightly beat one egg. Heat a lightly oiled pan over low heat and cook the egg into a thin omelet. Once cooled, slice it into thin julienne strips.
Step 3
Now for the star of our soup: the broth! Pour one pack of store-bought Korean beef bone marrow broth into a pot. Add a generous amount of Tteokguk rice cakes, which have been rinsed in cold water. Stir well to prevent the rice cakes from sticking together.
Step 4
Once the broth begins to simmer and boil vigorously, continue to cook until the rice cakes are soft and tender. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. It’s best to season slightly on the saltier side so the flavor is well-balanced once the rice cakes are added.
Step 5
Ladle the prepared Tteokguk into a beautiful serving bowl. The steam rising from the hot soup is incredibly inviting.
Step 6
Gently arrange the julienned egg garnish on top of the Tteokguk. For extra flavor and texture, you can also add dried seaweed flakes or finely chopped scallions.
Step 7
Your delicious Beef Bone Marrow Tteokguk is now complete! This hearty soup is a perfect meal for a satisfying lunch or dinner, or whenever you need a boost of energy. Enjoy your meal!
