It's tradition cook Korean tofu soup in an earthenware pot and to add a fresh cracked egg right before serving. The heat from the earthenware pot should keep the soondubu jjigae hot and bubbling, thus cooking the egg into a perfectly poached egg.
Going by many names, soondubu jjigae is also known as Korean tofu soup, sundubu jjigae, soondooboo, spicy Korean tofu stew, soft tofu stew or soup, and spicy Korean tofu soup.
To make vegan or vegetarian soondubu jjigae, use a vegetarian broth as the base and use vegan kimchi. Skip the egg and add extra vegetables such as mushrooms, onions, peppers, and zucchini.

Today I want to share a popular Korean stew – Sundubu Jjigae or Soondubu Jjigae (순두부 찌개, Korean spicy soft tofu stew) recipe.
I think sundubu jjigae is one of the top 3 sought after Korean stews, along with kimchi jjigae and doenjang jjigae. (“Jjigae” means stew in Korean.) If you haven’t checked out those two recipes yet, you should! They are two of my most popular Korean soup recipes as well.
Best Korean Stew Recipes Story
There are a few different ways to make sundubu jjigae using different ingredients (e.g. kimchi, minced pork and seafood) but by far my favorite version is the seafood version known as Haemul Sundubu Jjigae (해물 순두부 찌개). You can really taste the refreshing and clear tasting soup.
In general, sundubu jjigae is a bit spicy though I think my recipe is in the modest pepper scale. Nevertheless, the spiciness of the stew can vary depending on the types of chili powder / chili flakes you use. Also, whether you used chili oil or neutral oil. A spicier version can potentially make you sneeze while you’re cooking and may even tickle your throat.
I want to highlight that there are two different types of soft tofu available at a Korean grocery store. The most common one is packaged in a long cylinder shape plastic bag and the other one is packaged in a regular tofu plastic container.
Easy Soondubu Jjigae Recipe (spicy Korean Soft Tofu Stew)
I personally prefer to work with the cylinder shape soft tofu because it’s easier and quicker to add to the soup/stew. But you can use either one for this stew.
Korean chili oil is commonly used when you make spicy soup such as today’s recipe or yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) etc. It adds nice bright red color to the dish and it brings out the rich depth of flavor. You can certainly make sundubu jjigae without it, but I love the outcome when I add it.
I also have tried this S&B La-Yu chili oil in sundubu jjigae and it worked well. This oil is actually a bit spicier than my homemade chili oil and gives less depth of flavor and color.

Korean chili powder is a finer version of Korean chili seasoning than Korean chili flakes. Ultimately you can use either types of chili seasonings in this recipe. However, you will notice that when you use Korean chili powder, the color of the stew is more vibrantly red than when you use chili flakes. It makes the stew look simply more appetizing.
Make sure your pot is large enough to hold all the ingredients listed below, otherwise it can boil over. As an indicator, my 1.7 L pot (as seen on the video above) holds the ingredients quite comfortably (no boiling over!).
1. Start heating the pot on the stove over medium low heat and add the chili oil, chili powder, and garlic. Stir them well for about 1 min. Make sure not to burn the chili powder.

2. Add the clams and shrimps and stir quickly to coat them with the chili sauce. Add the fish sauce and soy sauce then stir.
3. Add the dried kelp and anchovy stock and boil it on medium-high heat until it starts to boil rapidly (2 to 3 mins).
