Sundubu Jjigae (Vegan korean tofu soup)

This Sundubu Jigae, is completely vegan. It is a gluten-free Korean Tofu Soup that is downright exploding with classic Korean comfort-food flavor! Soft tofu, thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms, all chilling out like they are in the hot tub at a Korean sauna spot in a broth enriched with sesame oil, gochugaru, and kimchi. This recipe is an easy, fast, one-pot meal that everyone with a face will love. If you don’t have a face, you probably will not like this soup that much…

Instructions

  3. After 30 seconds, pour in unsalted vegetable stock or water, and add finely chopped kimchi. Stir and let it simmer for a few minutes, just until hot.
  4. Gently add Korean soft tofu, thinly sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms to the pot. Allow them to cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Portion the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced garlic chives, or scallions. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top.

Notes

  • 🌱 Tender Tofu Technique:
  • 🌱
  • Handle Korean soft tofu with care. Gently introduce it to the pot, preserving its delicate texture for that velvety, melt-in-the-mouth goodness. It will firm up slightly from a brief blanch in the hot broth.
  • 🎨 Bowl Symphony Creation:
  • 🎨
  • Avoid stirring when introducing tofu and mushrooms. Let them gracefully float, simplifying the arrangement of a visually stunning and well-composed bowl presentation.
  • 🌶️ Kimchi Crunch Wizardry:
  • 🌶️
  • Maximize kimchi's crunch by finely chopping it, seamlessly integrating bursts of tangy goodness into the soup. Don't shy away from the kimchi juice - it’s the magic liquid you have been dreaming of to give your broth even more flavor!
