Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 300g rice cakes in cold water for 15 minutes. Thaw first if frozen.

  2. 2

    Cut 150g beef into bite-size, marinate briefly with 0.5 tbsp soup soy sauce and sesame oil.

  3. 3

    Add 1L water and beef to a pot, bring to a boil, and skim foam.

  4. 4

    Add soaked rice cakes and simmer on medium heat for 5-7 minutes until soft.

  5. 5

    Season with 1 tbsp soup soy sauce, garlic, and salt. Pour beaten eggs in a circular motion.

  6. 6

    Add green onion, cook 1 minute, then serve topped with seaweed flakes.

Tips

Soaking rice cakes prevents them from absorbing too much broth, keeping them chewy.
Using bone broth instead of water makes the soup much richer.
