Coreana

Sundubu jjigae

A piping hot, silky Korean stew where meltingly soft tofu absorbs a red gochugaru broth flavored with garlic and seafood. The just-set egg adds a rich roundness that mellows the heat without erasing it.

Pasos

  1. Thinly slice the scallion, separating the whites from the greens, then mince the garlic; reserve the greens for finishing.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a heavy-bottomed pot, add the garlic, scallion whites, and gochugaru, then stir over low heat until the aroma becomes toasted and red without smelling burnt.
  3. Pour in the broth and soy sauce, scrape the bottom of the pot, then bring to a simmer until the surface bubbles steadily.
  4. Add the shrimp or clams and cook until the shrimp turn pink or the shells open; discard any clams that remain closed.
  5. Slide the silken tofu into the broth in large chunks, without stirring too much, then simmer until heated through to the center and still wobbly.
  6. Taste the broth and adjust with salt if necessary; it should be punchy, salty, and slightly round, since the tofu will mellow it out.
  7. Crack the eggs directly into the pot, cover, and let set until the whites are just opaque and the yolks are still soft.
  8. Sprinkle with the scallion greens and serve piping hot with the cooked white rice.
