Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable or seafood broth
  • 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1.5 lbs soft tofu (sundubu), drained
  • 8 oz shiitake or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 count scallions, white and light green parts sliced thin
  • 4 count eggs
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

    Heat broth in a large pot over medium-high until steaming, about 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Whisk gochujang into the broth until completely smooth and incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add mushrooms and scallions, then gently break tofu into large bite-sized pieces and slide them into the pot.

  4. 4

    Bring to a rolling simmer and cook 4 minutes until mushrooms soften and broth starts to bubble.
