Today, I'm excited to share my go-to recipe for Soondubu, a cozy Korean soft tofu stew that's perfect for chilly evenings. It's surprisingly simple yet bursting with flavors. Here's what you'll need:


Ingredients:

• 1 block (14 oz) soft tofu
• 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped
• 1/4 cup ground pork or beef (optional)
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 2-3 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups anchovy or vegetable broth
• 1 egg (optional)
• Rice for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • If using meat, cook it in a pot until browned. Add onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Sauté until onions are translucent.
2. Add Kimchi and Seasoning:
   • Stir in the chopped kimchi, gochugaru, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Pour in Broth:
   • Add the broth to the pot and bring it to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Add Tofu and Egg (if using):
   • Gently slide the tofu into the pot, breaking it up into large chunks with a spoon. If you like, crack an egg into the stew for added richness. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Finish and Serve:
   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for freshness.
6. Enjoy!:
   • Serve hot with steamed rice on the side. The soft tofu and spicy-savory broth make every spoonful a comforting delight. Perfect for warming up your evenings!
