Editors Review
The rice cake soup called “tteokguk” in Korean is not only an all time favorite Korean stew but is the traditional soup eaten on the Korean New Year’s day. There are many different versions of this delicious thick glutinous soup with different kinds of meat. Aeri shares with us her favorite version of this soup using fresh oysters, just like her mom usually made when she was young. The rice cakes, oysters and egg used to make the soup all have some symbolic significance to the New Year! So happy eating andChef
