Korean Rice Cake Soup Tteokguk As Made By Jasmine Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the anchovies and 4 cups of water. Soak for 3 hours at room temperature.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the rice cakes with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Soak for 30 minutes at room temperature, then drain.
• Strain the anchovy soaking liquid into a medium pot, discarding the anchovies. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the beef and garlic and cook for 20 minutes, until the beef is tender and cooked through.
• Add the rice cakes, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Return to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, until the rice cakes float to the surface.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the scallions, sesame oil, and black pepper to taste.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic salt, and black pepper.
• In a medium pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the egg and tilt the pan to spread in a thin, even layer. Cook until the egg is no longer runny on top, 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute, until set. Transfer the egg to a cutting board, fold over itself in thirds, and thinly slice crosswise.
• Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with the egg ribbons and thinly sliced nori.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cut meat into 1 1/2" pieces. Heat sesame oil and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add meat and season with salt. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 8-12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, separate scallion whites from greens and coarsely chop; set aside. Thinly slice scallion greens and set aside separately for serving.
• Using a flat-bottomed mug or the side of a chef's knife, lightly smash ginger. Add to pot along with garlic, reserved scallion whites, and 16 cups cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming any foam from surface, until meat is tender, 60-75 minutes, if using stew meat, or up to 2 hours , if using brisket. Transfer meat to a plate with a slotted spoon, then scoop out ginger and scallion whites and discard.
• Add Korean radish to pot and simmer until tender but not mushy (it should still hold its shape), 12-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp. vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl and season with a large pinch of salt. Pour half of eggs into the center of skillet and quickly swirl pan to distribute evenly. Cook eggs undisturbed until they are just set, about 2 minutes. Carefully loosen with a heatproof rubber spatula, flip, and cook until other side is just set, about 1 minute. Slide egg crepe onto a cutting board and fold in half; let cool. Slice into 1/4"-thick ribbons. Repeat with remaining eggs and 1 tsp. vegetable oil.
• Slice beef as thin as you can and return to pot; add rice cakes. Cook until rice cakes are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in fish sauce; taste and season soup with more salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top with sliced egg, reserved scallion greens, and chile threads (if using).
• Do Ahead
• Soup (without garnishes) can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat over medium before serving.
