Ingredients
- 6 cups beef stock (or vegetable stock for a vegan recipe)
- 3 Tbsp soybean paste found at Korean markets-or Amazon, if you can't find it near you
- 1 tsp Gochujang more or less, to taste
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 tsp garlic finely chopped
- 1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise and chopped
- 2 small potatoes or one medium
- 8 oz firm tofu cut into small cubes, (or soft tofu, if you prefer)
- 4 oz enoki mushrooms or sliced, plain white mushrooms
- 2 green onions chopped into small pieces, at an angle
- 1 jalapeños (OPTIONAL: chili pepper flakes, to taste)
- 1 cup cooked sticky rice to serve
Instructions
- Place broth, soybean paste, hot pepper paste (if using) in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Once it comes to a boil, add the chopped potatoes, and simmer for 5 or 6 minutes.
- Next, add the zucchini, garlic and onion, continue to simmer about 3 minutes.
- Now add the mushrooms. Then add the tofu and simmer another 2 minutes.
- Lastly, add the green onions and jalapeños. Let the soup come to a boil for a minute, so it's very hot, then immediately place into warmed serving bowls and add a tablespoon or so of cooked rice.
Notes
- Include a bit of beef, if desired.
- I used water with 2 Tbsp of Better than Bouillon in place of stock
