Instructions

Use white clay to make a Tteokguk bowl.

Make egg yolk garnish with yellow clay.

Make egg white garnish with white clay in the same way as the yolk garnish.

Make seaweed flakes.

Roll out two types of green clay, made by mixing green and white, thinly, and layer them to make green onion garnish.

Make red chili garnish with red clay.

Use a tool like a toothpick to gently scrape the meat garnish to express the texture of the meat.

Mix a very small amount of yellow and black into white to create the color for meat dumplings.

Let the rice cakes harden for at least 6 hours so they set well.

⏱️ 360m 0s

Use a knife to slice the hardened rice cakes diagonally.

Prepare the chili and green onion by cutting them with scissors.

Fill the bottom of the bowl with white clay.

Prepare gloss varnish; clear varnish or white varnish is fine, but for a richer look, mix in a little ivory paint.

Decorate by placing the garnish in various spots.

Apply unmixed white varnish only to the rice cakes and dumplings.
