Elevated Instant Soups

Ingredients for spicy tofu stew (4-5 servings)

  • Tofu broth seasoning powder (includes chili oil)
    • I used Pulmuone’s
  • Spicy seafood sauce
    • I also used Pulmuone’s
  • 1/3 bag of enoki mushroom (I usually get a 7.5 oz bag)
  • 1-2 pieces of scallion
  • 1 egg
  • One 14 oz pack of soft or medium firm tofu

Directions

  • Pour 8 cups of water into the pot and turn the heat on high
    • I add 8 cups because I make this soup ahead of time, and each time I reheat it, the liquid reduces dramatically.
    • If you’re planning to serve it right after you cook it, I’d only use 6.5 cups of water
  • Meanwhile
    • Cut the tofu into half inch squares
    • Rinse the scallions, discard the ends, and chop across into small pieces
    • Take about 1/3 of the enoki mushrooms from the bag, give them a quick rinse, and chop off the roots
  • When the water boils, lower the heat to medium and add 1 packet of the instant spicy tofu soup powder
  • Add the entire pack of spicy seafood sauce
  • Then, add the chili oil
  • Wait until the soup comes to a boil again, keeping the heat on medium
  • When it boils, add the tofu and enoki mushrooms
  • Let it cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes
  • After about 5 minutes, add the scallions
  • Then, add the egg
    • You can either keep the egg intact or, you can puncture it and swirl it around the soup

  • Let everything boil for about 5 more minutes

  • Serve it directly in the pot so everyone can self serve, or pour it into a single bowl!
  • You can also store it in a plastic, preferably glass container and keep in the fridge for 3 days
  • You can keep it in the fridge for longer than 3 days, but you should boil the soup once the first 3 days have passed and then store it again for another 2-3 days
