What is sundubu jjigae?

Subdubu jjigae is a hot and spicy Korean stew made with uncurdled tofu, or sundubu, which has a very soft and silky texture.

The stew usually includes vegetables, mushrooms, onions, and sometimes meat (often pork or seafood), and is flavored with gochujang or gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes).

It is served boiling hot in a stone pot and often enjoyed with a raw egg cracked into the soup just before eating.
