How to make Dduk Mandu Gook (Ricecake and dumpling soup)

Many Koreans eat this for New Years. Here is my spin on the comfort classic.

1. You may soak your ricecakes overnight or you can boil them in hot water and drain. You may do this as well with the seaweed, but chop it up afterwards.
   
2. Make your stock with the 5 cups of water and bring to a boil.
3. Add your sesame oil and soy sauce.
4. Add the dumplings and rice cake. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Add the beaten egg, slowly stirring with chopsticks to make threads like in egg drop soup.
6. Add the seaweed and mushrooms.
7. Lastly, add the green onion and simmer.
8. Serve immediately.
