Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Here are the ingredients prepared for making the delicious perilla seed and beef bone broth rice cake dumpling soup. We have brown rice rice cakes, dumplings, beef bone broth, and for garnish, seasoned seaweed, green onions, and minced garlic.
Step 2
For the frozen brown rice rice cakes, do not soak them in water. Instead, gently thaw them or add them directly to the boiling broth. Brown rice rice cakes cook faster than regular white rice cakes, so be mindful of the cooking time.
Step 3
Let’s prepare the aromatics and seasonings that will enhance the soup’s flavor. We have the ground perilla seeds ready for their nutty aroma. The seasoned seaweed is cut into bite-sized pieces for garnish. Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic. The thinly sliced green onions in the picture are for topping the finished soup.
Step 4
It’s important to season the beef bone broth first to create a deep and savory base. Pour 800ml of pre-made beef bone broth into a pot. Add 1 Tbsp of fish sauce, 2 Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 Tbsp of soup soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic. Seasoning at this stage helps create a cleaner and richer flavor. If the taste needs adjustment, use salt to perfect the seasoning.
Step 5
Bring the prepared beef bone broth to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the broth is boiling vigorously, carefully add the dumplings.
Step 6
After adding the dumplings, let the soup return to a rolling boil, then add the thawed brown rice rice cakes. Gently add the rice cakes to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 7
Once the rice cakes are added, stir gently just once to prevent them from breaking apart. Stirring too frequently can release starch from the rice cakes, making the broth cloudy and thick.
Step 8
The rice cakes are fully cooked when they float to the surface of the soup. Check that the rice cakes are tender before proceeding to the next step.
Step 9
When the rice cakes are cooked, add the 2 Tbsp of finely chopped green onions. The fresh aroma of the green onions will blend beautifully with the broth.
Step 10
Finally, add the star ingredient: 3 Tbsp of ground perilla seeds. Stir lightly once to incorporate, then immediately turn off the heat. Cooking perilla seeds for too long can diminish their fragrant aroma.
Step 11
Your savory and hearty perilla seed and beef bone broth rice cake dumpling soup is ready!
Step 12
Ladle the finished soup into bowls. Garnish with the prepared seasoned seaweed and a sprinkle of black pepper for an even more appealing presentation. The combination of the warm, savory broth, chewy brown rice rice cakes, and tender dumplings is truly exquisite. This delicious rice cake dumpling soup is perfect for the whole family to enjoy. Be sure to try making it!
