First Korean Meal

Some of you may remember shortly after arriving, my boasting of cooking a Korean meal at home. You might also remember that meal including opening a box and pouring the ingredients in the pan and mixing. If you don't remember either, just continue reading... this is the first actual Korean meal I cooked and I honestly did cook this one from scratch. It was a lot of fun and it turned out pretty tasty! 

TteokGuk=떡국

This is the traditional Korean New Year's meal. 

Ingredients:

Meat

Tteok (rice cake)

chives or garlic stems

eggs

salt and pepper

soy sauce 

water

kim (seaweed) 

Step 1: brown the meat and put the water on to boil 

Step 2: add the garlic stems and the Tteok

Step 3: after the Tteok is softened, stir in the egg which has been lightly beaten

Let the soup simmer for a few minutes and them serve with some seaweed if you would like. 

Its a very delicious soup and if you happen to come across these ingredients, give this soup a try! I think you will really enjoy it!
