How to make it
-
To prepare the soup base, place a medium-sized or earthenware pot (ttukbaegi) over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, kimchi, onions, Korean red pepper flakes, Lee Kum Kee Chili Bean Sauce and minced garlic to the pot.
-
Add your choice of protein. Sauté for approximately 3–4 minutes, or until the protein is nearly cooked and the onions are soft.
-
Gently add the soft tofu, breaking it into chunks.
-
Pour in the chicken stock and Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil. Depending on the saltiness and fermentation level of your kimchi, you might need to adjust the taste using salt and sugar.
-
Once boiling, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms. Make a small well in the center and gently crack the egg into it. Let it boil for another 3–4 minutes.
-
Finish it with a sprinkle of Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil and a dash of Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce. Top with green onions for garnish. Enjoy!
