Arahan

Slice the oyster mushrooms, keeping the head intact for garnish. Thinly slice the green onion and onion.

Whisk the egg, cook it in a thin layer, roll it up, and slice it into thin strips.

In a pot, heat sesame oil and sauté the minced garlic with the beef and mushroom head until the beef is no longer red. Remove the mushroom head.

Add 500ml of water and the beef bone broth coin. Then, drop in the sliced mushrooms, onions, and green onions.

Once the soup starts boiling, season with anchovy sauce, tuna sauce, and soy sauce. Let it continue to cook until fully boiled.

Serve the soup in a bowl and garnish with egg slices, mushroom slices, green onions, and dried seaweed.

This tteokguk alternative is thick, rich, and savory—so much so that it tricks your mind into thinking you’re eating traditional tteokguk! While it doesn’t have the chewy rice cake texture, it’s a flavorful, low-carb, high-protein dish that’s a must-try.

Total calories is less than around 300-400, compared to 600-700 regular ones! :)
