Manduguk, or Korean dumpling soup, is a traditional dish made with dumplings (mandu) simmered in a light, savory broth. The dumplings are typically filled with a mixture of pork, beef, tofu, and vegetables, giving them a rich and hearty flavor. The broth is usually made from beef or bone stock, which complements the dumplings with a clear, mild taste. In some variations, spicy kimchi dumplings are used for a bolder flavor. Manduguk is often enjoyed during the Lunar New Year as a celebratory meal and is sometimes combined with rice cakes to create Tteok Manduguk. This comforting and nutritious soup is especially loved in the colder months, warming both the body and soul.
