A little late to the party, but here is my homemade Tteokguk to celebrate the New Year! (Okay, full disclosure: the dumplings are homemade, but we bought the rice cakes lol).
Since I got such a warm response on my previous post about my wife's cooking, I worked up the courage to share another one.
We usually prefer a clean anchovy broth base, but for New Year's, we went with a rich beef bone broth (Sagol). The dumplings (Mandu) were made during a fun gathering with friends and family.
The highlight is the garnish. My wife rolled the yolks into a flower shape. To keep it from unrolling, she used a small piece of dry noodle to pin it in place.
Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you all nothing but happiness in 2026!

Wow, your beautiful λ°₯μ scratches an itch in my brain in the best way!
So gorgeous, everything looks delicious and delicately plated, I especially love the egg flowers! I just uh, get store-bought everything and throw it into a pot… yours looks much better!
This looks amazing! The presentation is superb. Like sitting in a restaurant! ππ
Few people, if any, make their own tteok. That’s what tteok houses are for.Β
The decoration is a work of art~π
