Instructions

  1. Dice beef into small cubes. Transfer to a small bowl. Season beef with Marinade ingredients and set aside to marinate for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Then rinse rice cakes with cold water a few times to remove any starch. Strain and set aside.
  3. In a large pot on medium heat, heat vegetable oil and fry beef until browned.
  4. Pour in water (or stock). Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce to medium-low heat for 15 minutes for a gentle boil. Skim off any scum for a clean broth. Season broth with soy sauce and chicken powder.
  5. Uncover and add in dumplings and rice cakes. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Cook until they float, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the soup off heat. Note: If using large dumplings, cook them 4 minutes earlier than the rice cake as they’ll take longer to cook.
  6. Optional Garnish: Separate egg yolks from egg whites in two separate bowls. Beat the egg yolks and egg whites separately. In a pan set on low medium heat, lightly grease it with oil and paper towel. Pour in yolk mixture and let it set into a thin pancake. Fry on both sides until cooked, a couple minutes in total. Repeat this for egg white mixture.Transfer egg yolk pancake to a cutting board. Roll up the pancake and slice thinly. Repeat the same with egg white pancake.
  7. Divide and serve the soup into large bowls. Garnish with cooked eggs strips, green onions, and gim. Feel free to season with a pinch of salt to taste if you'd like it saltier.
