on Sep 19, 2023, Updated Jul 15, 2024 In Korean, soondubu means soft tofu and jjigae means stew which sums up this recipe perfectly. The soft tofu is the star ingredient of the stew, although you can load it up with veggies, poached eggs, and meat to your liking. This particular Korean Tofu Stew recipe is a vegan take on the stew but I also share how to make this as authentic as possible below. I highly recommend stocking up on two Korean cooking staples: gochujang – hot pepper paste, gochugaru – Korean red chili flakes. Even if you don’t plan to cook authentic Korean food, both these are super versatile! If you’re looking for easy recipes to try and spice up your weeknight dinners, this Soondubu Jjigae has got to be on your hit-list. It might seem intimidating at first, but trust me, this is as easy as it gets! It’s such a wholesome way to get all key nutrient groups in your meal too which I love, and I always feel so comforted and happy after having this. All the other ingredients are pantry staples – I keep a package of silken tofu in my fridge at all times. Read on for the specific brand recommendations! 6. Add zucchini, carrots, mushroom and all the water 7. Let this simmer till the veggies are tender 8. Add tofu and serve hot topped with green onions If you liked this recipe, try out my Korean Pork Bulgogi Bowl for another Korean weeknight comfort meal, and as always, send me your recreations over on my Instagram @my_foodstory.
