Tteokguk (Korean Rice Cake Soup) Recipe

At Taste of Korea on February 1st, 2011, Bann restaurant played host to a family-style Korean New Year’s lunch in Midtown. Working with the Korean Food Foundation to promote Korean cuisine here in the States, the event served traditional favorites like Tteokguk, a rich beef broth topped with ribbons of egg, seaweed and tender medallions of Korean rice cakes. The dish symbolizes prosperity for the New Year and is a personal favorite of television food personality Kelly Choi, who made an appearance at the event. — Rachel Tucker Food and recipes provided by the Korean Food Foundation.  Click here to see Celebrate the Korean New Year.
