A cozy weekend recipe for sa-gol mandu-guk (사골 만둣국) — dumpling soup made with quick beef-bone broth. Use ready-made ‘Yeonduring’ (연두링) sa-gol stock, add frozen or handmade king-sized mandu (dumplings), and a handful of tteok (떡국떡) if you like. Simmer gently so the dumplings don’t burst, then swirl in beaten egg, top with thinly sliced green onion and crumbled seasoned gim (조미김) for extra flavor. The rich mandu filling melts into the broth, making each big spoonful feel like a bowl of luck and comfort for the new year. Simple steps: make broth with water and Yeonduring, boil mandu and rice cakes 5 minutes, add egg, skim foam, finish with scallions and pepper, and sprinkle gim before serving.
