This is one of our household’s favourite dishes, but it’s often has anchovy paste and other not plant-based ingredients, so I thought, let’s make a new version! Kimchi is so good for you, and this soup is beautifully layered with a good kick of spice!
Soft Tofu Soup (Sundubu Jjigae)
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 package soft/silken tofu

- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 knot dried kelp
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
