Sundubu Jjigae 순두부찌개 - Korean Spicy Tofu Stew
Sundubu (or soontofu) jjigae is a Korean stew made with silky (extra soft) tofu, vegetables, seafood and/or meat and gochujang or gochugaru. The stew is usually assembled, cooked and served directly in an earthenware pot or ttukbaegi. Right before serving, an egg is cracked into the jjigae and delivered while still bubbling vigorously.
I recently tried Muji’s DIY Sundubu Jjigae. The taste itself was fine, but if I hadn’t known what it was supposed to be, I would have thought it was a soup version of mapo tofu.
Here’s a follow up to that video - my version of Korean Spicy Tofu stew made from scratch.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
1 tsp of sesame oil
1 cup of anchovy stock
Room temperature egg
1 rough chopped scallion
Half a tube of silky tofu, ~¾ cup of silky tofu
1 strip of pork belly, sliced
½ cup of chopped onions
½ cup of kimchi
1 minced clove of garlic
Directions:
1. Prep all ingredients before you start cooking. Combine the gochugaru and sesame oil to make the spice paste. Set aside until ready to use.
2. Heat the earthenware pot over medium heat for a few minutes until hot. Add the pork belly, garlic and onions, cook until the pork is no longer pink.
3. Add the anchovy stock, kimchi and silky tofu. Use your spoon to break apart the silky tofu if necessary. Bring to a boil.
4. Once boiling, add the spice paste a little bit at a time. Stir to dissolve. Continue to boil until it has slightly thickened.
5. Carefully remove the earthenware pot from the stove. Garnish with chopped scallions and crack an egg on top. Stir in the egg and enjoy!
Notes:
I will follow up with a quick video demo for anchovy stock.
I like my jjigae spicy so I used all of the spice paste. If you can’t handle super spicy, I recommend starting with just a tablespoon of the spice paste. Once it has dissolved, give it a taste, adjust to your liking.
I find that this jjigae has plenty of flavor, if you find it bland, salt to taste. The longer you let it boil, the more intense the flavor.
The residual heat will cook the egg, but if you’re still not confident, you can add the egg while the jjigae is still boiling on the stovetop.
If you don’t have an earthenware pot, you can use a small heavy pot.

I totally forgot about this channel, I'm glad it's still here but hope you're doing well and still cooking.
Looks delicious
Awesome!! Sorry what's the name of the carrier used underneath the clay pot?
good
How do you make anchovy stock?
Hi can I do this recipe if I don't have the goguchang I only have the hot Peper fleeke
just made this with some regular chopped up pork chop, used Cayenne instead of Korean red pepper flakes, added some salt and didn't have any onion but it turned out just fine!
Is there any substitute for the sesame oil?
I like korean foods....i love it..
Can these bowls withstand high stove fire? I bought a clay pot from an Asian store and it cracked and broke into two while I was sautéing some Chinese sausage slices in it. Any precautions that must be taken with these pots?
Wow 😳 looks DELISH. I will try cooking it, thanks for sharing♥️👍🏽
why most recipes here include pork belly or grounded pork but at korean restaurants i dont see any trace of pork??
plus 1 tbs of gochujang plus blackpepper, it will be tastier

Is paprika okay to replace gochujang? Is it gonna taste the same?

@@jennynyle89 completely different, you can get gochujang from your local asian stores though. its very cheap. :)
Would gochujang work instead of mixing the sesame and pepper flakes?

+bertie botts i assume you can but the flakes have a nice flavour to them other than just making the dish spicy :)

No, Chili powder is a mix of cumin and other spices (this of that unique flavor of Chili stew) so it will definitely not taste the same at all. If you can't find gochugaru you can substitute red Chili flakes or cayenne pepper, but I'm not sure on quality for those. If you don't like spicy then this probably isn't the recipe for you 😅
