rice cakes and ramen broth - need recipes

hi all, I've been poking around everywhere trying to find a recipe for extremely spicy chinese or korean ramen broth. I have a nasty cold and killed my last package of ramen battling it.

also, I picked up some silken tofu (soon du bu - sp?), some rice cakes and some mandoo at a korean market in quito I found. I can't decide if I should make some variation on the traditional korean soup that's eaten on new year's or if I should make two different things. or even three.

I have been informed I can purchase no more proteins -- we have like 2 chickens, a freezer full random beef and pork, and a rack of lamb. so, in an effort to assist with the freezer/fridge cleanout, I need some ideas.

oh, and I've never cooked with rice cakes before -- do you have to boil them before, say, stir frying them?

oh right, the korean market won't get anymore ramen in until next month. argh.
