Lazy Korean Rice Cake Soup Recipe & Video - Seonkyoung Longest (1)

Hi guys!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

First of all, I want to wish you all the best, happiness, healthy, success and abundance!!!

When I woke up 1st January 2017, I had to make Tteokguk (Rice Cake Soup) because it’s the traditional Korean new year’s food!

But….

When I woke up in the morning, I didn’t feel like cooking this time consuming dish form scratch only for myself. (My hubby is still in his deployment.) But I had to eat this dish, because it’s the meal I eat every year on the new year’s day.

So I decided to make the lazy version… lol

Instead of making the soup from scratch with all other ingredients and spending hours, I made with very simple ingredients under 10 minutes.

The rice cake is amped as round circle, like coin.

Back then in Korea, we didn’t have paper money, only coin money. So Koreans eat this soup on new year’s day while wishing earn more money that year!

Also when you eat this soup, you officially get 1 year older. (Koreans all get 1 your older on new year’s day.) So people who doesn’t want to get older, trying not to eat the soup and little kids would eat like 5 bowls of this soup! lol We all understand thats not the true, but it is always fun to play that way!

Hope you guys try this recipe sometime soon and enjoy at home!

Hi SeonKyoung!

Thank you for all the great recipes and videos. It’s has been so helpful since I’m not only Korean, but a newbie cook! Two questions… is there an alternative I can use to red wine? And what size is you pot?

Thanks!
Sook

Hi Sook! The pot is 64 oz. And the alternative for red wine is depending on what recipe you’re trying to make and if you want alternative because it’s alcohol or you can’t have red wine. 🙂

Happy New Year 2021 to you and your families! I wasn’t feeling great last night and wanted something light. The stars lined up with some home canned chicken broth and some frozen tteok in stick form, which I cut down to slices (they partially crumbled, but they were still good) and a couple of fresh green onion stalks in my lettuce growing box, making for a satisfying dinner soup, a happy tummy and sharing a New Year’s tradition. I added a bit of soup soy sauce for the flavor a a touch of salt, which also worked well as the broth was unsalted. Thank you for sharing this and all your recipes!
