Instructions

1

Prep

Soak 200g rice cake in cold water 15 minutes, drain. Remove heads and guts from 20g dried anchovies. Finely grate 6 garlic cloves. Thinly slice 4 spring onions. Beat 2 large eggs. Tear 2 sheets roasted seaweed into small pieces.

2

Simmer

Combine 1.5 L cold water, anchovies, and kelp in a large saucepan over medium heat. Simmer 8 minutes, removing kelp at 5 minutes to prevent bitterness. Strain broth into a clean pot.

3

Build

Return strained broth to a boil over high heat. Stir in grated garlic, 20ml soy sauce, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Add rice cake slices, simmer 3 minutes until softened and floating.

4

Simmer

Add 400g frozen pork mandu dumplings, simmer 5 minutes over medium-high heat until puffed and filling is heated through.

5

Finish

Drizzle beaten egg in a slow stream while stirring once gently so it sets in delicate ribbons across the surface over medium heat, about 1 minute.

6

Plate

Ladle soup into deep bowls. Scatter spring onion, torn seaweed, and sesame seeds over the top. Finish with 10ml toasted sesame oil and serve immediately.
