Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the 2 cups rice cakes and 0.5 pound beef, and cook over medium-high heat until the rice cakes are soft and the beef is cooked through, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the 1 cup mushrooms and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Cook for 3 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the broth is fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 2 cups spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, beat the 2 eggs. Slowly drizzle the eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently to create ribbons, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnished with sliced green onion if desired.
