Ingredients

  • 14 oz firm tofu (cubed)
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (grated)(optional)
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 stalks green onions (sliced)(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a pot over medium heat with oil. Sauté garlic (and ginger if using) for 30–45 seconds.

  2. 2

    Stir in gochujang and cook 1 minute to bloom the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add broth and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. 4

    Add tofu cubes and simmer 8–10 minutes to let the broth absorb into the tofu.

  5. 5

    Add spinach and cook 1–2 minutes until wilted.

  6. 6

    Create 4 small wells in the stew and crack in eggs. Cover and cook 3–5 minutes for soft yolks (or longer for firmer).

  7. 7

    Top with green onions and serve immediately.
