Easy Soondubu Jjigae (Korean Soft Tofu Stew)
Soondubu Jjigae is stuffed with supple, velvety tofu, veggies, and mushrooms and covered in a flavorful broth. Making the greatest soft tofu stew at home in less than 15 minutes only requires a few basic ingredients.
The traditional Korean meal Soondubu Jjigae (), also known as Sundubu Jjigae or soft tofu stew, is made with silky soft uncurdled tofu coated in a spicy and fragrant broth and is best enjoyed with a bowl of steamed rice.

Because it is so extremely soft and supple, the tofu in this stew retains its melt-in-your-mouth consistency while easily absorbing all the spices.
Undoubtedly one of my favorite comfort foods in Korean cuisine is soondubu jjigae. On a chilly day, nothing beats a warm, flavorful stew, and when
