Tteokguk - Korean Rice Cake Soup

I’m in Finland and I used pulled oats for the ”beef” which worked very well and looks the same as in the recipe images. The omelette was also very nice and I used that recipe separately to make a breakfast omelette today. Overall quite tasty soup to use up extra rice cakes I had in the fridge, but there was a bit too much kombu for my taste so next time I would use less or try a different type of veggie broth.

Hii Riikka! Oou pulled oats sound like such a great swap 🤗 thanks for sharing your experience with the kombu too. Using less next time or swapping it for a vegetable broth sounds like a great adjustment 🫶

Very cool easy recipe! Would make again

It was very surprising, and very good! I loved how every bite was different from the other, that was lovely! The only thing is that next time I'll try to get better tasting dumplings, maybe even lower the amount of dumplings, because my dumplings were not the best ^^'
I'll make it again!

The soup is surprisingly delicious and filling when it all comes together! I topped it with some crispy chilli oil and subbed beyond sausage for the shreds 😋 thank you for this! I had some leftover rice cakes and making this was a lot of fun 🥰

Would this recipe work without the mock beef? (I'm a vegetarian and I don't buy fake meats) I feel like there are enough of other tasty things for it to still be good without?

Hey Nohya, this recipe can still be delicious without the mock beef. Feel free to skip the mock meat or replace it with another protein source like (marinated) tofu. Add some extra toppings or soy sauce for extra flavour if preferred! 🤗

I made this and it was delicious! I had trouble finding plant based beef shreds so I used plant based ground beef instead and it still turned out great!
