Tteokguk Typical South Korean food when seollal

 

When celebrating Seollal or Korean New Year, there is one menu that is considered mandatory to eat. The food is tteokguk, aka rice cake soup. "Tteokguk is a Korean specialty at New Year's time. Made from rice cakes, beef, eggs, and vegetables,"

tteokguk is generally made from boiled water for beef, chicken, pork, partridge, or seafood which is added with Korean ganjang sauce. After cooking, the broth is then filtered until it is clearer.

Furthermore, Jeon said, the garaetteok (a type of oval rice cake) is thinly sliced ​​and boiled in the broth. Before serving, you can add vegetable garnish, egg, or spring onions and add sesame oil according to taste.

There are several types of tteokguk. One of them is saeng tteokguk or nal tteokguk from Chungcheong Province. This food is a mixture of non-glutinous rice and glutinous rice which is formed into small circles or rolled into garaetteok which is shredded and put into soup.

Other types are joraengi tteokguk from the Kaesong region, gon tteokguk from Jeju Island, and ttenduguk. Whatever the type of tteokguk, Jeon says, the menu is definitely seol-eumsik (a term for all kinds of food served at Seollal). Korean society considers every Seolla to arrive as if it were a birthday. "Eating tteokguk means one more year. In Korea, the age is calculated at the beginning of the year,"
