Tteokguk with flower-shaped dumplings and jidan prepared by Yu Kyoung-suk SEOUL — Yu Kyoung-suk found joy by making special tteokguk, or rice cake soup, this year. As the year became 2022, he came up with a fancy tteokguk — topped with flower-shaped dumplings and jidan — to share with his wife and their two sons. He squeezed juice from beets and carrots to add colors to the dumpling dough to make a special tteokguk this year.
The rice cake soup can be served with different broths, depending on the recipe –- the opularly used broths are based on dried kelp, beef or beef bone broth, also known as sagol. Slices of white rice cake are added to the boiling broth, which is served with jidan on top. Eating tteokguk also means to grow a year older with a common saying: “One needs to eat a bowl of tteokguk on Lunar New Year’s Day morning to grow a year older.” Lee Yu-ra, 31, who lives in Daegu, feels that a new year has actually started only after eating a bowl of tteokguk with her family.
