#5550: Semchorong Yorigoongri Cup Tteokguk – South Korea

Found this at Boo Han Marrket in Edmonds, Washington. I thought since I’ve tried a lot of tteokbokki, I’d try out this one. The rice cake in this is just a different shape – sliced like little medallions. Kind of looks like what you’d find in a box of escalloped potatoes. Let’s give it a try!

To prepare, add in tteokguk rice cake and sachet contents. Add 380ml boiling water (up to the line inside the bowl). Cover for 2~3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!

The rice cake sliced hydrated surprisingly well in 3 minutes. Lightly chewy and plentiful. The broth is kind of like a creamy chicken – it’s really nice. It dumped rain yesterday and I got soaked and had to be in wet clothes…
