Each spoonful is filled with silky tofu, vegetables, and bold aromatics simmered in a flavorful chili broth—perfect with a bowl of hot rice.

To start, sauté chopped onion and garlic in a mix of sesame and vegetable oil. Add gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a pinch of sugar to build a chili oil base. Pour in 1.5 to 2 cups of water or anchovy broth and bring to a boil.

Then, add sliced zucchini, mushrooms, and Korean chili pepper. Gently add a tube of Korean soft tofu (Soondubu), breaking it into chunks.

Simmer for 5–7 minutes, then top with a cracked egg and chopped green onion.

This stew comes together in one pot in under 15 minutes and is endlessly customizable with seafood, meat, or kimchi.
