Sundubu Jjigae (Spicy Soft Tofu Stew) Boiling in Hot Pot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sundubu Jjigae or Soft Tofu<\/a>\u00a0Stew recipe that is so easy to make and so delicious that my husband told me it’s almost as good, if not better than the ones at the restaurant! I would have never imagined that Sundubu Jjigae would become so popular with non-Koreans. I always thought that it was unfortunate how Tofu got such a bad wrap for being a healthy but bad tasting food. I wanted to tell those people that it’s because you just don’t know how to make good tofu and cook it in a tasty way. Anyway, I was so surprised to see Sundubu (Soft Tofu) Jjigae as the most requested dish from my readers in my recent survey of “What should I cook next?” And this wasn’t even in my list of choices! Well, I should have known…<\/p>\n

For several years after the first Tofu restaurant opened in our neighborhood, my husband could not go a week without having this Jjigae. Many times, when we were discussing where to go out to dinner, my daughter and I ended up arguing with my husband.. “NO!!! Not the tofu house again!!!”\u00a0 Sometimes my husband would buy my daughter a Happy Meal to eat at the restaurant just so he could go to have his fix. The owner was always so understanding..\u00a0 Over the years, as you can imagine, she has learned to enjoy it too – probably not as much as her dad..<\/p>\n

If you have been to a Korean tofu restaurant, you probably have seen all the different variations of Sundubu Jjigae – plain or original (which is usually just tofu alone), beef, pork, seafood, combination of meat and Kimchi.. the list goes on and on.\u00a0 But in order to really experience the authentic taste, you first need to find a recipe where just the tofu alone will taste good enough. Once you have the basic recipe figured out, then you can easily add any ingredients and they will naturally enhance the flavor even further.<\/p>\n
