Korean Recipe : How to Make Soon Du Bu Jji Gae



Soon Du Bu is a form of traditional Korean soup that is made with tons of tofu. There are many variations of making this dish, and every one of them is immensely popular in the Korean community. Probably the most famous variation of soon du bu consists of lots of tofu, some mushrooms, and shrimp. There are many ways to prepare this dish with the same ingredients, but here's a good method I found out.

First you'll need to get the ingredients. Most Soon du bu consist of tofu. In this recipe, we will use silken tofu. Silken tofu is a softer type of tofu with a much smoother texture. For this recipe, we will also need: onions, red pepper powder, red pepper paste, shrimp (peeled or unpeeled, it's up to you), anchovies(dry), a couple eggs, and mushrooms.

First, get a large pot and fill it at least halfway with water. Then add your anchovies and boil the water for a good ten minutes. Then take the anchovies out. This will be the starting broth for our soon du bu.

Next, while the broth is boiling, add the red pepper paste and the tofu. We need to add these first so that they're fully mixed and fully cooked. Bring the heat down to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

Next, add in all of the other ingredients except the eggs. Cook these for a good 10 minutes so that all the ingredients are fully cooked.

Once these ingredients are done cooking, add in the eggs and mix it completely so that in every serving, there is some egg.

Then cook it briefly, and you're done! Now, simple serve it with rice and enjoy. It's a simple dish that doesn't take that long to make, but if made correctly, it'll be one of the best soon du bu jji gae's you'll have eaten outside of Korea.
