Even though it’ summer and not winter, I made dduk gook for my (Korean) Dad for lunch today and he loved it! He said he liked it because it wasn’t salty – older Korean people like their food a little bland.
I forgot to mention that I used some uncooked marinated bulgogi beef for the stock and it worked out great – added a little more flavor.
I made this recently with beef bone stock, (cooked the bones overnight)
absolutely DELICIOUS!!
I was sick with a bad cold and this was so good.

Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes & enjoyable videos. My family has never been as fond of Korean food as I am, but they LOVE your food. This rice cake soup is now a weekly staple – with a few alterations because of allergies, but essentially the same. Happy New Year.
Love your recipes have tried many. Spent time in Korea and became very fond of the food there. I was wondering if I wanted to make duc mandu gook , would I just add mandu at the end of this recipe?
yes you are right! just add mandu and you got dduk mandu gook! :)
i love 떡국 but i have never seen the yolk with egg whites and fish sauce put in there
Hello Maangchi, and Happy new year to everyone, 새해 복 많이 받으세요!
I just read that the traditional Korean New Year’s day 설날 (seollal) is similar to the Chinese one. I guess it’s 14th February this year. I was wondering if you could post a recipe of yakgwa because I also read that it is a traditional meal for New Year’s day. :)
Thanks a lot :D
Thank you for your good wish! Yakgwa is one of my upcoming recipes.
Hi Maangchi,
What a coincidence, I tried this soup for dinner at Wonju in Koreatown, NY. It was delicious, but I preferred the grilled meat over charcoal. I asked the waitress for extra sesame oil, but she looked back at me weird like I was crazy.
Have you ever been to Wonju? It’s great, but VERY smoky. I had to wash my clothes immediately after.

Dave,
No, I haven’t been there. Is it in Korea town on 32nd street?
By the way, happy new year everybody.
Thank you Flower, you, too!
looks really delicious,
a question can be used just chicken breasts instead of beef.?
Hi maangchi, I tried to make this today.
The rice cake I had was frozen, long and thick. At the store they said you could slice it for soup, so I tried, but it was very hard to cut (the rice cake kept splitting and eventually I ended up with some rounds and a lot of tiny rice cake splinters). When I put it in the soup they became very soft but still slightly chewy, which I suppose is good?
The soup itself was very tasty, if not slightly too thick. The egg garnish was very easy and awesome, I will remember this!
oh, I’m sorry to hear that! The store owner should have told you it will be very difficult to slice! Anyways it sounds like you did a good job! Happy New Year!
Thanks for this wonderful duk guk recipe, which I just made and ate. It was really good. The broth I used was made with beef bones, which I simmered overnight in the crockpot. I don’t know if it is typical in Korean cuisine to slow simmer beef bones for broth, but it does make a great stock. Thanks for your lovely website—it makes cooking Korean food so easy:).
Maangchi, can you use the stock that you make for soondobu for dduk gook?
This soup always reminds me of my childhood. Everytime if it was cold outside, my mom would cook this. When it rained, I knew for sure my mom would have this ready for me when I would come home from school.
; ) You must be missing your mother! Mom’s food is the best!
My mom isn’t around anymore so I am feverishly looking for recipies I loved as a child. Thank you for sharing this :) It was very very good!!!
cool! Your mom will be proud of you!
When I was younger, my mom made this for me all the time. I made some of this just recently and had my mom try it. She told me it was just like how she remembered it from when she was a child. I am sooo glad I found this website and your recipes! It brings back a lot of memories for me and my mom. Thank you soo much!
I think this weekend I am going to try to make Jeonbokjuk for my mom and myself. I am very suprised, this is one korean dish I have not tried yet, but it looks delicious.
Yes, When I eat certain food, it sometimes reminds me of my family, too. I’m sure your mom will love the Jeonbokjuk.Good luck with making delicious jeonbokjuk! I would like to meet your mom someday because she said her recipe for rice cake soup is very similar to mine.
