Ingredients

  • 200 grams Minced chicken breast or thigh
  • 350 grams Soft tofu (Sundubu)
  • 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
  • 1.5 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1.5 cups Chicken broth or water
  • 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
  • 1 whole Egg(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small pot or ddukbaegi, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat and add the gochugaru and minced garlic.

  2. 2

    Stir-fry the chili flakes and garlic for 1-2 minutes until the oil turns red, being careful not to burn the flakes.

  3. 3

    Add the minced chicken to the pot and cook until the meat is no longer pink and is well-coated in the chili oil.

  4. 4

    Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, then bring the mixture to a steady boil over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Carefully scoop large chunks of the soft tofu into the boiling broth, keeping the pieces relatively large.

  6. 6

    Allow the stew to simmer for 5 minutes so the tofu absorbs the spicy flavors of the chicken base.

  7. 7

    Crack an egg into the center of the boiling stew and add the chopped green onions.

  8. 8

    Drizzle with sesame oil and serve immediately while bubbling hot with a side of steamed rice.
