Dduk Guk For the Chinese New Year, Eric and I made Dduk Guk soup, which (apparently) is necessary in order to add a year to your age… I’m now 24 in Chinese years.  If we want to get technical, maybe I’m only 1 since this was my first time eating the soup. It consists of rice cakes (not the sorority diety ones made by Quaker), egg, scallions, chicken broth, and beef topped with seaweed. From a website: Seolnal (Lunar New Year)Among the many popular New Years dishes, Korean’s favorite is deok-guk (white rice cake soup). The reason to eat this relates to New Year’s Day. The first day of a year is supposed to be holy and clean like the white color of rice cakes. According to tradition, you can only get one year older by eating deok-guk. This is why people sometimes ask how many dishes of deok-guk you have ever had in your life (a way of asking a person’s age).
