On busy weekend mornings when the kids wake me up hungry, this is my “go-to” 10-minute recipe. Using broth tablets and frozen ingredients, you can serve a warm, hearty meal in no time. Let’s get cooking so we can go back to bed! 🛌✨
Ingredients:
- Main: 2 cups Korean rice cakes (sliced), 5-6 frozen dumplings
- Broth: 2 Savory Beef (Sagol) broth tablets, 3 cups water
- Flavor Boosters: 1 tbsp minced garlic, chopped green onions
- Finish: 1 egg (beaten), 1 tsp sesame oil, a pinch of roasted seaweed (optional)
- Seasoning: Soup soy sauce (to taste)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep the Rice Cakes: Soak the frozen rice cakes in warm water for about 5 minutes while you prepare the broth.
- Boil the Broth: Add 2 broth tablets to the water and bring it to a boil.
- Add the Mains: Once boiling, toss in the rice cakes and frozen dumplings directly (no need to thaw!).
- Stir Gently: Give it a quick stir so the rice cakes don’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic and chopped green onions to enhance the flavor.
- Final Seasoning: Taste the broth. The tablets are already seasoned, but if it needs more salt, add a splash of soup soy sauce.
- The Egg Swirl: When it’s bubbling, gently pour in the beaten egg. Wait 10 seconds before stirring to keep the broth clean.
- Finish & Serve: Turn off the heat, add a drop of sesame oil, and serve in a bowl!
