I did something Korean for this New Year's Day. I made Teeokguk (rice cake soup). "The disc-shaped rice cakes look like coins, so they symbolize a wish for upcoming prosperity for anyone who eats them." It also says something about the whiteness of the broth, but I did a beef broth, so mine is brown ^_^;;
Mine didn't turn out as good as the restaurant we usually go to and eat it at, needs more garlic! It was still very tasty. Even my grandparents liked it and they're very hard to please when I cook things that aren't straight up bland American foods. :P
