### 🇰🇷 | 'Tteok-guk for The New Year' Challenge (Week 5)!

Our chefs last week were Microsoft Student Ambassadors You Jin Kim, Hong Min Kim and Aaron Roh from Korea! And they joined Cloud Advocates Justin Yoo to share a wonderful New Year tradition - eating _tteok-guk_ (rice cake soup) - to signify long life and prosperity. Watch the teaser video to learn more.

From the [project brief](https://github.com/microsoft/Seasons-of-Serverless/blob/main/Dec-21-2020.md)

> _In Korea, when New Year begins, everyone eats tteok-guk (rice cake soup). There are various shapes of tteok, but especially for greeting New Year, garae-tteok is the most popular to make the soup. As garae-tteok has a long and cylindrical shape, people wish to live long, by eating tteok-guk. When cooking tteok-guk, the garae-tteok is sliced into small pieces, which look like coins. This coin-like shape is believed to bring wealth._

> _This recipe calls for several steps, and we want to create an automated process to set reminders for each step._
