Soft Tofu Soup with Mushrooms: soondubu jjigae

Soon Tofu Soup, or soondubu jjigae, is a popular spicy Korean stew made with soft tofu called soondubu. In Korean, soondubu jjigae translates to “soft tofu stew;” soondubu meaning “soft tofu” and jjigae meaning “stew.” Chef Jeong Min Gi at Pulmuone’s corporate headquarters in Seoul, South Korea shows us how he makes this delicious and healthy comfort food, using oyster and shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, onion, and gochugaru, or Korean chili flakes. The gochugaru gives the dish its heat and beautiful red color. He adds the soft tofu at the end so that it does not break apart.
