A Korean New Year's celebration is not complete without dduk guk, which is rice cake and dumpling soup with (optional) roasted seaweed and egg. Eaten on Jan. 1 for good luck, health and long life, dduk guk is part of the traditional start to the new year. It is typically eaten first thing in the morning.
That is a nice tradition. I think my DH would love it. He just got Chloe into eating seaweed with him. Me, not so much. Oh well, he can't win everyone over, LOL. Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love your blog. I love the soup too. We just started our Korean adoption journey. We originally planned to adopt from China,but after a year into it, we realized that we needed to switch. I'm so interested in learning more about Korean culture and traditions, so I've really enjoyed reading your blog. thanks SAL
