Hi I am Mama Kim.
One of my viewers, Botalpha,
asked me for ideas on soup recipes.
He wanted to make something special
for his wife who is pregnant.
What a nice husband!
So, today I will cook Korean soft tofu soup
which is delicious and nutritious.
Sot tofu soup is called "Soon-du-bu" in Korean.
It will be good for his wife and
and also good for tofu lovers.
Let's start!
Let me explain some of the ingredients.
First, soft tofu.
You can get it very easily.
I bought it at my local grocery store.
Not at a Korean market.
And second, red pepper powder.
This is a very finely ground powder.
We use it when we make soft tofu soup.
But, you can use regular red pepper powder
if you don't have this one.
Prepare all ingredients.
Soft tofu, salt, garlic, red pepper,
green onion, sugar, water.
And, I prepared kimchi and pork.
But, you can use beef, mushrooms, or seafood.
Soft Tofu is a subjective dish.
So, be creative.
Oops, almost forgot the vegi oil.
We will need it.
Heat the pan.
Actually Koreans use clay pot when we make tofu soup,
but, not everybody has it.
So, I will use a stainless pot.
Add oil and fry the red pepper powder.
Be careful. Red pepper powder burns easily.
So, you'd better lower the heat.
Add the pork and garlic and keep frying.
Add kimchi.
I highly recommend you to use fermented Kimchi
to get better flavour.
Add sugar.
It acts as a substitute for MSG.
Put the soft tofu into the pot and add water.
Add salt.
Bring to a boil. You can add an egg if you want.
Last but not least.
Remove the heat and sprinkle chopped green onion.
All done. You can have it with rice.
Soft tofu can be burned easily.
So you should reduce the heat
when the soup starts to boil.
So, be patient.
Ginger will keep me company.
