From the Family Kitchen of Juju Chang: New Year's Rice Cake Soup

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

Soak 3 cups of sliced rice cake in a bowl of cold water. In a small bowl, mix 2 egg whites and 1 egg yolk with a pinch of salt and set aside. Soak for one hour.

In a small mixing bowl, combine sesame seed oil, soup base soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Add sliced flank steak and mix together until all meat is coated.

In a large pot over medium heat, brown the seasoned meat, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add 6 cups of water to the browned meat and bring to a boil over high heat. Once liquid reaches a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer rapidly for 5 minutes.

Drain the soaking rice cake slices and add them to the boiling liquid. The rice cake slices will float to the surface when ready.

Drizzle in the egg mixture, a little at a time. Stir the egg after a few minutes, to create ribbons. Make sure to give it a chance to cook before you stir. Decrease the heat to low, add sliced green onion to the pot. Turn off heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with additional onion and sesame seeds, if desired.
