Ingredients for Good Luck Beef and Korean Rice Cake Soup (Tteokguk)

• 675g piece point- or flat-cut beef brisket or stew meat, fat trimmed

• 1 cuillère à café d'huile de sésame grillé

• 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

• Sel kasher

• 4 oignons nouveaux

• 1 (3-inch) piece ginger, peeled

• 4 gousses d'ail, finement râpées

• 1/3 Korean radish, peeled, quartered lengthwise, sliced crosswise 1/2" thick, or 1/2 medium daikon, halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise 1/2" thick

• 4 gros œufs

• 8–275g Korean rice cakes (tteok), sliced

• 2 cuillères à café de sauce de poisson

• Poivre noir fraîchement moulu

• Korean red chilli threads (optional

• pour servir)

Cut meat into 1 1/2" pieces. Heat sesame oil and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add meat and season with salt. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 8–12 minutes.

Meanwhile, separate spring onion whites from greens and coarsely chop; set aside. Thinly slice spring onion greens and set aside separately for serving.

Using a flat-bottomed mug or the side of a chef’s knife, lightly smash ginger. Add to pot along with garlic, reserved spring onion whites, and 3850ml cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, skimming any foam from surface, until meat is tender, 60–75 minutes, if using stew meat, or up to 2 hours , if using brisket. Transfer meat to a plate with a slotted spoon, then scoop out ginger and spring onion whites and discard.

Add Korean radish to pot and simmer until tender but not mushy (it should still hold its shape), 12–15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl and season with a large pinch of salt. Pour half of eggs into the centre of skillet and quickly swirl pan to distribute evenly. Cook eggs undisturbed until they are just set, about 2 minutes. Carefully loosen with a heatproof rubber spatula, flip, and cook until other side is just set, about 1 minute. Slide egg crepe onto a cutting board and fold in half; let cool. Slice into 1/4"-thick ribbons. Repeat with remaining eggs and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.

Slice beef as thin as you can and return to pot; add rice cakes. Cook until rice cakes are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in fish sauce; taste and season soup with more salt and a few grinds of pepper.

Ladle soup into bowls and top with sliced egg, reserved spring onion greens, and chilli threads (if using).

Soup (without garnishes) can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat over medium before serving.
