deuk-guk-korean-rice-cake-soup-for-lunar-new-years

Seollal, Lunar New Year's celebration is just around the corner and in Korea, you must eat a hearty bowl of Deuk-guk, rice cake soup to officially get a year older! The toppings in this recipe are chopped scallions, thinly sliced egg omelette and tofu and shiitake mushroom stirfry in soy sauce. The stirfry is a regional specialty topping from Gyeongsang province of South Korea where my birth city Daegu is situated. It is usually made with beef and tofu but I subbed the meat with the mushrooms. It adds a great texture and flavour to this soup combined with the soft and chewy rice cakes. Let's get to making!
