Soma By Nature, 123 William St., Manhattan

I went on SeamlessWeb last night with an eye toward sushi. Soma By Nature, in the Financial District, was very highly rated and offered sushi, but my eye was caught by a user review that was very positive on a dish called the Emperor's Rice Cake Stew (dapoki, this user called it). So I took the plunge.

The dish was delicious and perfectly spicy. I am not familiar with Korean food so I don't know how typical were the fat, cylindrical rice cakes (about half an inch in diameter and 2-3 inches long). Chewy and sticky, they weren't my favorite part of the meal, but still perfectly good, and the meat and vegetables were lovely. I wish there had been more of them, proportionately, in the stew.
