Sujebi[1] (수제비; South Korean name),ttŭdŏguk (뜨더국; North Korean name), orhand-pulled dough soup,[1] or Korean-style pasta soup,[citation needed] is aKorean traditional soup consisting of dough flakes roughly torn by hand, with various vegetables. The flavor and recipe resemblekalguksu, except that the latter is made with noodles rather than wheat flakes. It is commonly considered a dish to consume on rainy days, along withbindaetteok.
Thebroth forsujebi is usually made with driedanchovies,shellfish, andkelp. In order to obtain a rich,umami flavor, the ingredients should be simmered for many hours. Added to this broth are soft noodles and various vegetables orkimchi, most oftenzucchini andpotatoes.
Korean people began to eatsujebi andguksu (국수 noodles), both dishes made of wheat flour, from the earlyGoryeo period (935~1392), but the namesujebi (earliersujeop-eo) dates from the midJoseon period.Sujeop-eo is a combinedhanja word comprising the termssu (hanja:手; hangul:수; literally "hand") andjeop (hanja:摺; hangul:접어 or접다; literally "folded" or "folding").
From the Joseon period, people started making various types ofsujeobi according to various purposes.Sujebi is today considered a typical commoner's food, but in the past, it was relatively rare and used for special occasions especiallyjanchi (잔치; feast, banquet) such asdol janchi (the celebration of a baby's first birthday).
In North Korea,sujebi is calledmilgaruttŭdŏguk (밀가루뜨더국), which is the words comprising three words:milgaru (밀가루; literally "wheat flour") +ttŭdŏ (뜯어; literally "tearing" or "torn") +guk (국; literally "soup").
