About Tteokguk

Tteokguk is a traditional Korean soup made with thinly sliced rice cakes (tteok) in a savory, flavorful broth, often beef or anchovy-based. It is commonly garnished with egg ribbons, sliced beef, seaweed strips, and green onions. Rooted in Korean cuisine, Tteokguk is traditionally eaten during the Lunar New Year as a symbol of renewal and good fortune. This dish is naturally low in fat and provides energy due to its rice cake base, which is a rich source of carbohydrates. The broth offers protein and minerals depending on the ingredients used. However, it can be high in sodium if prepared with store-bought stock or excessive seasoning. For a healthier version, consider using homemade broth with reduced salt. Tteokguk is both a hearty comfort food and a culturally significant dish, celebrated for its simplicity and meaning.
