Korean Soondubu with Kimchi
Korean soondubu jjigae (or Korean spicy tofu soup) is one of my favorite meals on a cold day. It’s served while it’s still piping hot, packed with silken tofu, vegges, and meat or seafood, and the broth can be as spicy or mild as you want it. It’s a comfort food for many Koreans, and it’s also considered a hangover food as well. My favorite kind is kimchi soondubu jjigae with beef.
